If there are multiple spaces between the fields, are there multiple spaces inside any fields??

If not you could use FGETS to get the data, and then STRTRAN any multiple spaces with tabs - this will then give you a delimiter (I normally use tabs). You would need to take care of multiple tabs (four spaces=two tabs!!!) this should not be difficult.
