SN supported data formats for import are csv, excel and xml. However, I have a use case where I have to import data from .dat files with specific delimiters (obtained from an external system) into SN. Has anyone come across such a use case before? If so, please let me know what your approach was.

Hey Chuck,



I might have accidentally clicked the 'Correct Answer' button against Marty's question .



What if the text file has no delimiters specified in it upfront ! I can think of a script or a code that runs external to SN, to place delimiters (,) or (|) in the source file. But, is there a way to pull in the raw text file as is into SN and then do customization?
