Description
Hi,
If I try to parse activity.txt file using Pandas, I get the output in a weird format.
Even though the columns are separate in activity.txt file, after parsing it through pandas all the columns are merged as one.
Is there a workaround to separate out the columns/clean the data so that it can be processed further ?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported parsing of activity.txt with Pandas and compare the file's apparent column separators with the resulting single-column output. Identify the parsing behavior responsible and document or implement a reliable way to keep the columns separate; done means the activity data can be processed as distinct columns.
