Challenge with my string

[j.crater]

M3B6    RIC-F-SA12-01   Fiber Bulkhead-SM/MM-6 Duplex-12 Adapters-ST-Black  25
M3B8    RIC-F-LCU24-01C Fiber Bulkhead-SM-12 Duplex-24 =
Adapters-LC-Black/Blue  1

Is there an error in the second line, should = be followed by Adapters-LC-Black/Blue 1?
The columns seem to be aligned. If this is true for every file you will parse, and the number of character "slots" allocated for a single column is constant, you could get the data you want by slicing and stripping the strings.
Edit.:
Ah that = ("potential error") might be there because otherwise the line is too long and columns arent aligned anymore in this case.
