I don't know how to do this via a programming approach, so what I would do is IMPORT the data in to Microsoft Excel, which can parse, or split, the data into columns. If you don't have Excel, then the free OpenOffice is an option, and I believe you could use either the spreadsheet (Calc) or the database (simple called Base) component of OpenOffice.
