That doesn't look to me like it is plain text. There appears to be a
non text (i.e. a binary) header in it.

Use a OLEDB connection and adapter to connect to the text file via the
Jet Oledb engine (should be plenty of examples out there in google
land) you may need to use a schema file to cut out the header (I am not
100% sure if you can do this, you might have to modify your text file
slightly)

Delphi is a programming language - not a database. You can create and
use any kind of database with Delphi - anything from proprietary
formats, to object databases - you name it. That won't help....

What are the files like? Size, extension etc. ?
