How can I convert a .out file into a .txt file, CSV, or SQL file? The records present in the .out file do not have delimiters instead each segment in the record has a fixed start and endpoint. Is there an online tool or a simple PHP script in which I can easily define the start and endpoint of each segment? Then, finally, export it with delimiter | between each segment of the record. Not necessarily, if I can directly export this .out file to a sql file.
Records Example:

P.S. Even blank spaces are part of different segments. Some segments have a length of 1 char; in those blank or space means NULL value.
For example, the first segment has a length of 1 char. As, you can see the 2nd record does not have a value instead a blank space to represent a NULL value.
Please suggest, thank you.

I developed this bit of code, you will need to modify the $fields
variable with the correct name and length of each column. I just made guesses.
<?php
$raw = file('data.out');
$fields = [
'id' => 1,
'id2' => 12,
'code' => 5,
'category' => 35,
'code2' => 32,
'category2' => 22,
'code3' => 22,
'code5' => 17,
'code6' => 2,
'code7' => 10,
'code8' => 186,
'code9' => 10
];
$unpack = [];
foreach ($fields as $name => $length) {
$unpack[] = 'A'.$length.$name;
}
$unpack_string = implode('/', $unpack);
$data = [];
foreach ($raw as $line) {
$data[] = unpack($unpack_string, $line);
}
var_dump($data);
$export = fopen("data.csv", "w");
foreach ($data as $row) {
fputcsv($export, $row, "|");
}
fclose($export);
Results in:
