Can you elaborate on the format a little? When you say a wide mix, does
that mean that any field could contain any data type or is there at least
consistency within each file? Do the string fields contain spaces?

I have dealt with this by reading each line in the file as a string, parsing
it with STRSPLIT and dealing with the parts but even this approach has
limits.
