Just a thought,

Create a table or temporary cursor with the structure of your text file.
Then append in that table form your text file with append from ... type ...
in the temporary table or cursor also create the fields timeout and timein.
now issue

Replace all timein with iif(myFlag ="I",mydate,""),;
  timeout with iif(myFlag="O",myDate,'')

Hope this helps you
