Uneven Number Of Rows In Delimited File

Hi everyone.
A delimited file is being sent to us from another company. The file is supposed to have 10 columns in each row. We are going to process the file using SSIS (2005)

Question - how do we handle the file if some of the rows are bad - are missing one or more columns?

If my package reads the file using a flat file source, when I run the package with a file where some of the rows have fewer than the expected 10 columns, my package abends on the flat file source task.

All we can think of doing is writing .net code to process the file as the first step of the package or even outside the package, to remove bad rows from the file before it hits SSIS.

Browsing through a couple of threads here similar to mine, it appeared to me that MS staff responded by stating the functionality of the flat file source may be enhanced in the future to handle this?

Thank you, Glen
