title: Convert ascii files into normal human-readable file
body: <p>I have got ASCII files and want to convert them into maybe excel or tab/csv delimited text file. The file is a table with field name and field attributes. It also includes index name, table name and field(s) to index if  required depending on the software. I don't think it is necessary to think of this. Well, field name and field attributes are enough, I hope so. I just want the information hidden inside. Can you all experts help me to get this done. </p>
  
  <p>The lines are something like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>10000001$"WORD" WORD$10001890$$$$495.7$$$N$$
  10000002$11-word-word word$10000002$$$$$$$Y$$
  10000003$11-word word word$10033315$0413004$$$$$$N$$
  10000004$11-word word word$10033315$$$$$$$Y$017701$
  </code></pre>
