Importing PAF file to MySQL

I recently purchased PAF files from the Royal Mail. I've received them all but now need to import the contents into a MySQL database.

After taking a look at the files there seems to be no common delimiter or way to determine the individual columns.

Can anyone please provide any insight into the format of a PAF file so I can build a parser?

Thanks in advance :)

  • I think you should read this PDF file taken from main website: it has everything you need to create a parser IMO.
