[resolved] Reading data from different positions in a flat file

Hi Guys,
It's me again.
Im trying to read data from different positions in a flat file. i.e. below is an example of the details file.
MWK00243505600002435231023JPY00102300FININTINTEREST
MWK00243506130002435111011ZAR00101100FININTINTEREST
MWK00243506130002435121012ZAR00101200FININTINTEREST
field 1 = position 0 to 3 (length 3)
field 2 = postion 4 - 15 (length 11) etc...
I am reading the file using tFileInputPositional but i'm not sure where to specify the starting point of the fields.
Thanking you in advance... 0683p000009MACn.png
