Positional Polling a file with multiple records at single line

Question

Hi
I am trying to poll a file with positional read.It works fine with single record at single line.But how to solve the problem when there are multiple records at single line???How to delimit the records??

Answer 1

i have a file which contains emp records like empID,empName,Dept.And these records of fixed length.I need to poll this file wirh positional read.I used fixed length polling.It works fine when there is only 1 record at one line.But when 2 or more records on same line it takes first record correctly but could not understand the start of second record.
for ex
1 shital mktg
2 priya finance
it works when records are at separate line.
but another case is:
1 shital mktg 2 priya finance
how to delimit these records??
