I'm trying to import lines from a fixed width file, but I only want to import lines that match certain criteria, rather than the whole line.

I'd like to avoid importing into a temp table and then deleting the unwanted lines, as the fixed width file is just too big...

Any one got any bright ideas?

Thanks,

Fee
