    Hi fareen
    My best effort was to open your text file using Excel. It stops and asks for a delimiter during the import. You need to specify the delimiter as the | character. This is the shift key of the \ character. Then you text file at leaste comes in to separate cells and is similar to what you want. The next thing to do would be, remove unwanted rows of data, compressing it using Excel VBA.

    I hope this gives you a start.
    One test is worth a thousand opinions.
