I've got some machines that output text files after each shot of parts. I'd like to take the data in those files and parse it and insert it into a SQL Server database for future massaging. The text files look like the example I've posted below. Can SSIS parse out the set points and actual values even though the file isn't CSV or tab delimited and the data is kind of 'strewn' all over the report? Each report does have the exact same format so the report format doesn't change from report to report, just the data. Thanks in advance.

Protocol Complete
Yes absolutely, SSIS can do this. Import it as a single, very wide, column and parse out the various sections in the pipeline. Given the complexity you're probably going to have to do this in an aysnchronous script component.
