..................................... etc.

Is there a way to split data into date column, V2, V3 and V4 columns and
erase those lines without date, so that data would look like that:

date                             V2       V3       V4
2010.12.26 00:01:52     555     11.67     44
2010.12.26 00:02:52     566     11.67     44

etc.

Thanks a lot!
