i read about mysqlimport & load data infile for mysql, but i can't find a
way to import text file using length of column, instead of delimiter

my text file contains fixed length column:

<----><--><-----------><-----><---->


i can use ms excel to convert all files to .csv format and import, but it
would take a long time and i have to escape delimiter.

so, is there a way to import text file with fixed column size into
mysql???

thanks
