One simple minded way to do this would be to import it into Excel (or your favorite spreadsheet) and then write it back out as tab delimited. I don't know if you can script Excel to do this or not.

I'm trying to find the most efficient way to import a large dataset into a Filemaker database.

The raw data comes as vertical pipe delimited records, each containing either 14, 16 or 18 records, depending on the individual record format.

Via appleScript I can format the data as tab-delimited or xml, but with thousands of new records on a daily basis the process can take too long.

Any suggestion?
