"It didn't work" doesn't tell us very much. How did the results differ from
what you wanted?
Is it always four blanks in field 1, two in field 2, two in field 3, and 2 in
field 4? Is the length of each field constant across all the records? If so,
then does
BUILD=(5,8,15,5,22,21,45,5)
come close to what you want?
