Import Text File into Access Based on a Column Criteria

[Java]

How do I import a text file that is tab delimited with the criteria of the
field Code = 300 to a table in MS Access?

Here is a small portion of the text file. The text file is generally huge
about 95 MB.

I don't think importing with criteria is an option. You may have to use a
temp and query the temp table to insert the records into your "active" table.

Unfortunately the file is really huge. This particular file is 95.9 MB Even
trying to link it in the database is extremly slow.

If the criteria had been on the 1st field, I would be able to read the file
line by line, write to a new text file and then import the new text file into
Access. I'm not sure about using a criteria from another column other than
the 1st column.
