How do you use UIEE format files as a datasource?
===

We have upload.txt files that are a formatted in [UIEE][1] format.
They look like this, and each file has thousands of records.
I find sites that apparently are using the data like this for webpages.

Should I attempt to parse these and import into tables?
Are there any examples of code scripting the processing of files like this on a regular basis?

Does anyone have an example how best to approach this, as my searches online haven't given me much insight yet.

I am looking for recommendations.
