ToddAndMargo, this should handle any kind of columns separated data (or any table). If some column (commonly separated with a constant character as "\t", ";", "|", ....)  has different types (char, text, int, boolean, ...) in a single column, then it should be treated as a character, but if it has only float (in all rows/lines) then the parser checks all rows for a same column (in this example case all them are float) and assign the column as float contain column.
Example:

    NAME(long char);NICK(char);AGE(natural/positive
    integer);HEIGHT(float m);WEIGHT(float kg)

    Marry Lockheart;Marry_L;35;1.68;63,125

You may see that the first line must be a header, all lines have 5 fields separated by ";" and each field has a unique type (the specifications not aways be declared on the data or file).

How are you getting this data back?  In a buffer of
DWORDS that you have to cut up?  Or are they already
formatted for you?
