Apologies if you got offended but I didn't mean to insult or to offend someone. I was just asking regarding the pointer control in a healthy way.

Do you know which columns specific variables are to start in? Or how many spaces between variables?

 

If you can show an example of your data to read you might get some more specific help. Paste the example data as text into a code box opened using the forum {I} icon. The main message windows will often reformat text replacing multiple spaces with single space and replacing tab characters with spaces. The result would mean that the example data might not actually resemble your data.
