SQL SSIS
I want to import text documents into sql however it doesn't come in a CSV format and I cant change this.
we receive all files in the attached format. The only thing is that the amount of rows of data between each column can change. I want to insert all the lines of data into 1 column with just a space between line breaks. Is this possible and how would I go about doing? I have basic knowledge of SQL but nothing advanced.

I can have random text either before the information that I need to receive as well though. Wont that just create 1 massive line of text? so how would I find what I want and move it in to the corresponding column?

No problem. Just map it to a destination that has only one column.
>with just a space between line breaks.
You'll probably want to import it as-is first, then run T-SQL to remove line breaks that goes somethign like this...
