Hi, I'm trying to import data from a file where the fields are stored in a fixed width format. The Import["file", "Table"] command is the closest I can get to what I'd like, but then the data is divided using whitespace, so I get a lot of extraneous fields, and no way to tell whether what Mathematica imported as two fields is actually just one that contained a whitespace. Any ideas on how to proceed?
