Im****t txt file - records on multiple lines

Hi,

I have a txt file (originally .dat file actually) I need to im****t into a 
table in Access. 

It has multiple records and each record is over several lines. Fields are 
delimited by '|'  and the end of each record is indicated by '@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
'. Apart
from 
that there are carriage returns & spaces in some of the middle fields
(which 
would be Memo fields) which need to be kept.

Eg: 

1|xxx|a: cat
b:dog
c: mouse    rat    |date@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
 above is 1 record with 4 fields. In a file there could be any number
of 
records like this - not always the same number of lines per record.

Is there any way to im****t the records?? give an end of record
delimiter???

Thanks,
