Parsing .txt file, without commas

$

Hi All,


Very new to Alteryx. I have a large .txt file that I've inputted to Alteryx with the following options:

 

Read it as a delimited text tile

Delimiter: None

First Row contains Fields names (Checked)

 

The column imported is called Field 1 (has all the columns in 1 combined column for now)

 

There are no commas separating the columns, only blank spaces, but each column has a different width and depending on the row, the # of characters in each column is different. 

 

My desired output is a table with each column separated based on its max width.

 

I have tried to use text-to-column tool to parse out the columns, but my "Field 1" column stays the same. Screen shot attached.

 

Please help!

 

Thank you!
