• I get these files which are basically text streams and they are only delimited by record.

    I've written a utlity to handle it now (it's slow and difficult to manage on all my remote sites) but is there anything already in SSIS that would just delimit the row at a specified length?

    If you just need to break at a specified length, I would look at something like sed to add a row delimiter:

    sed s/.../(&)"\ n"/g

    (remove the space in \ n)

    should add a CRLF after every 3 characters.

    Dump the output into a new file and process it using bcp.
