Importing Metadata from text file

I have a .txt file that contains column definitions (metadata) for approx 100 columns (the actual data file is separate). I want to import the metadata into DS. Whats the easiest way to import it? I had a look at the schema chapter in Parallel Job dev's guide but that seems a lot of work as the format in my txt file is different - without () brackets and semicolons, etc. Is there another way or another format that could be used?

Thanks
GS

I agree. I wrote my own in VB. If you export one table as XML. It is pretty easy to duplicate this format and import it.
