Reading/loading a 'text' file as a subfile, or into a flat file - is there an easy way ?

[Michel Adam]

This has probably been answered any number of times before, but:

With PH on Wintel, I'd like to process a '.txt' file with QTP, or
convert it / load it into a flat file with the least amount of fuss
possible.

Are there any tools/tricks that will let PH deal with a variable record
length (byte stream) file as if it was a fixed length flat file ?

Thanks
