Yes,  you  can  use  the CSV library, it will read a file separated by
commas  (just  change  it  if you want another delimiter) and return a
sequence as you described below.

Z> DATA ONE    [TAB] DATA TWO    [TAB] DATA THREE
Z> DATA ONE    [TAB] DATA TWO    [TAB] DATA THREE

Z> {"DATA ONE", "DATA TWO", "DATA THREE"},                   -- Record 2
Z> {"DATA ONE", "DATA TWO", "DATA THREE"}                    -- Record 3

Z> This will be used to view this data for example in Win32Lib's
