Hi, Monks

I have some data with fixed columns width:

<S>                           <C>              <C>       <C>        <C
+>       <C> <C>   <C>          <C>       <C>       <C>    <C>
ACACIA RESH CORP              ACACIA TCH COM   003881307  110,725    1
+,875,000 SHS       SHARED-OTHER 1,2,3     1,875,000 0      0

I need to parse this data. I think the best way is to use unpack() for this (may be i'm wrong?). So i need to know position (in the line) of each column.

How i can find it?

Thanks!
