Those are text files only but column delimiter is '*'.

As i experienced there is no way to pass the columns which are delimited by "*" but you can use them with the delimiter as -
","
TAB
colon(:)
Semicolon(;)
VerticleBar(|)

1.Replace your text file content of "*" with any of the Above one,

2.Go for Data flow task, take flat text file.

3.Choose your .txt file from BROWSE option.

4.Use Column Delimiter whichever you have chosen.

5.Use OLEDB Destination for the Data Importing into Destination.

Hope it let you some way out.
