Preparation of data with Talend

Hello to everybody and sorry for my bad english,
I have a project to do with Talend but I'm stuck in a task, and I don't know how to do.
I have a txt file in this format :

a lot of rows like this.
I want to create a schema with the columns ( Year, Month, Day, longitude, latitude, X, Values -in this field i want to store all the remaining values in the same line but I dont know how. 
I don't know how to do to put a screenshots so i give you the links :

As you see in the screenshots when I do this treatment I have just the first value stored in the last column.
So if you have an idea how to solve this problem, I would be very thankful to you.

OK, this might require a bit of lateral thinking. It looks like each value will have a single space separating it from another value. It also looks like the first 6 values will always be provided and are required in their own columns. The rest are required in a single column. Do you know you can guarantee those rules for the whole dataset? If so, some simple Java may help you work with this. You *could* use a simple loop to iterate over the first 6 columns and leave the remaining data in the 7th column.
To do this you could use a tJavaRow component and use some Java like below....
String data = input_row.my_column;
String[] values = new String;
for(int i = 0; i<6; i++){
   values = data.substring(0, data.indexOf(" "));
   data = data.substring(data.indexOf(" ")+1);
}

output_row.col1 = values;
output_row.col2 = values;
output_row.col3 = values;
output_row.col4 = values;
output_row.col5 = values;
output_row.col6 = values;
output_row.col7 = data;

.....to provide 7 columns with the data split as you wish. Obviously these are all Strings in this example so you may want to cast to other types and the long String of values you may want to convert to a List (this can be done with some extra processing of the "data" variable before assigning it to col7....check out ArrayLists in Java).
