So... a report printed to a file. What have you tried?

The short answer is you read it by defining it as one long string and then parsing out the individual fields you are looking for inside the job, propably based on the first value in the string. Lots of the informational will just be noise and be skipped.

If you need specific help, you'd need to post what information you need out of the report and what your output / target is.
