I'm pretty familiar with SSIS parsing of regular delimited text data files, however, I'm looking for some advice on an approach to tackle a file that looks like this test file:

ISA*00* *00* *01*220220220 *ZZ*RL CODE 01*060327*1212*U*00300*000008859*0*P*:~

N1*PR*BILL FREID TEST~
RMR*CR*0011010451800011**179.76~
REF*TN*000304189~

The 321.91 is the total of the transaction.

I would prefer to do this with SSIS, but could also do create a C# parser.

Suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you.
