pg_restore or copy. look in the documentation. I import data from flat files usually this way:
psql dbname < file The file contains a line before the data: COPY "tablename" FROM stdin; data.... \. If your delimiter is something other than tab you must specify the delimiter type this way: COPY "tablename" FROM stdin USING DELIMITERS '|'; # this is using | as the delimiter.
