How to parse information from a text file into separate records in File Maker 5.5?

Basically it goes on like this with the rest of the countries, and have 80 pages total.


I want to make a database that parse all these information into separate records based on
Company Name, and contains the following fields:

Company Name  (Each records should be about each individual Company)
Country  (Which country is this company located)
Email  (The first email address that appears under each company)
Contacts  (All the contact person's names and email addresses for this company, including the first one)
