comma delimited text file to Database

Hi,
I want to select a comma delimited text file into a table.
Each field separated by a comma should be a field in the table.
e.g "faa,fee,fii,foo,fuu" should be insert as
field1 field2 field3 field4 field5
faa fee fii foo fuu
My file is not a fixed length.
Hi
Have a look at DTS that comes with SQL Server.
Regards
Mike

I don't want to use DTS as the current system is importing the text file
through Transact SQL, if i can get a transact statement that is equivalent to
Instr i'll be glad.
