I am getting a single file with the following contents and I need to parse it into different tables. Each table is defined a the line which contains =====. Then the first line below that will contain the field headers. Then below that will eventually contain the data. Then the whole thing repeats.
===== Domain Name
domain name~stage of life~stage of life ends~expiry date~ROID~Auth Info
===== Domain Contacts
domain name~contact type~contact id
===== Domain Status
domain name~status flag~status value
===== Domain Hosts
domain name~host sequence~host name
===== Contact Details
contact id~name~organization~email~phone~language~ROID~CPR category~whois privacy
===== Contact Postal Address
contact id~name~organization~street1~street2~street3~city~province(or state)~postal code~country_code
===== Domain Name
domain name2~stage of life2~stage of life ends2~expiry date2~ROID2~Auth Info2
===== Domain Contacts

You have a file with many tables and non-uniform delimiters and no target schema generated yet?
There is no graceful way to handle that.

I believe a script component is the only way to go. I hope you know VB or C#.

I'm with Alvin (as usual) - Script Component with multiple outputs to your various different tables.

Seems like we've both spent enough time doing this stuff to know what works, Mr One Million 😀

Thanks very much, that's what I suspected but wanted to confirm before moving ahead with it.

You understand that I didn't post a million all by myself, right? 😛

So post an example that has data in it so we can try stuff out. 😉
Also, should "Domain Name" be a table name of [Domain Name] or is it a schema.tablename combination as in Domain.Name?
Last but not least, your life would be a whole lot easier if these were all separate files. Can you not change them?
