I am trying to import Indian National Sample Survey Data. It is ASCII flat
and an example is below

  001460306025001117101011117111201*01*000000211 270104070204093
002460306025001117101011117111201*02*0000008011116104910519572 022  2600
1150    30    55   170  4005  003460306025001117101011117111201*03*
0000111039204112  222

Previous post don't seem to provide much help. I have an document outlining
the layout of the data, but don't know how to start. An example of the
layout is that the values in bold indicate separate levels.Example of
layout is below:

      Sl.No. Item Blk Item Col Len Byte Position Remarks  1 Common Items
  33 1  - 33 Auto-duplicated  2 Level  2 34  - 35  "02" Generated  3 Filler
5 36  - 40 "00000" Generated  4 HHS Size 3 1 2 41  - 42  5 NIC Code(5-digit)
3 2 5 43  - 47  6 NCO Code(3-digit) 3 3 3 48  - 50  7 HHS type 3 4 1 51  -
51  8 Religion 3 5 1 52  - 52
As is obvious, I am relatively new to R. Any constructive advice would be
welcome.
