How to read tab delimited text file

[fyyap]

Godd Day!!

I face a problem in how to read a tab delimited text file? Can anybody help?

Each line of the text file might appear in this format:-

e.g1: <data1><tab><data2><tab><data3><tab><data4><tab><data5>
e.g2: <data1><tab><tab><data3><tab><data4><tab><data5>
e.g3: <data1><tab><data2><tab><tab><tab><data5>

Or in other word, there might be an empty data in the middle of each line of record.

Please help as this urgent .

Thanks in advance

I would run a simple replace and replace each <tab><tab> with <tab> <tab> or <tab>null<tab> etc.
