Use the Text Reader.

Then split the text_line_data attribute using the AttributeSplitter (delimiter tab: \\t) adding the values to a list.

Use the ListExploder to create features per list element.

Write the features to a table.

Hi @myme, you can use the CSV reader with setting 'tab' to the 'Separator Character' parameter.
