help with pulling data from a txt file from unix box to TD table?

[shrikks]

Folks, i am new to TD, especially to BTEQ, can any one provide me a script to pull data from a txt file on a UNIX server to TD data base?

Below is one eg row (with column names) that i have in my UNIX file...i need pull the data to a table, but also making sure to remove the "|" pipe symbol in between values.

date|IDentity|acct_num|segment_cd|NNN|pcode|pcode_desc|trans_cnt
--------- ----- -------- ---------- ----------------- ----- ----------------------------------------200801 |825 |2849 |2 | 7027409466.|MP |PREMIUM|6

can any one help with the scrip or direct me to something?
thanks in advance...
