Is there a possibility to read text files structured in columns rather than separated with commas with FME ?

I believe so.
Have you heard of the following Evangelist article describing Column Aligned Text (CAT)?

If not, enjoy!
Thanks Kathy, that's what I was looking for
Jeff,
Just one thing to be aware of with the CAT reader is that if you have particulalry long strings (such as coordinate lists desribing complex polygons the CAT reader will truncated the field sizes to a default size even if using a singular column. When using the CAT reader we for such a scenario I ended up opening the .fmw file in a text editor and replacing the default length with a longer value.
Cheers
James
