Importing Cisco System Commander Text Dumps

    Has anyone worked with the text dumps you can get from Cisco Call Manager?

    I beleive these are ragged right formatted files with headers reproduced for each group of records. The data looks like this (bear with me, it's long and this is just 2 records) :

    Call Type :Simple

    CDR

    How would I parse something like this to get it into SQL 2005?

    I tried using the "Import Wizard" with ragged right settings, but it doesn't work.

    I think the biggest reason that it does not work is because the header is repeated for each record. Cisco Call Manager does not allow you to modify the output of this dump.

    Can anything be done with it?

    I'm starting to wonder if it's impossible with the SQL 2005 tools.

    ...I beleive these are ragged right formatted files...

    To get this to work you really hafta know the structure of the file. What are the delimiters?; are there file headers apart from the record headers?...etc.

    Does Cisco provide any documentation on the file?
