Insert multiple text files to multiple tables that have different table structures

Question

I have a Business Requirement. I have lots of text files in a folder location. Say for an example:
**Sales_Newyork_1102_2012.txt**
**Sales_Texas_1102_2012.txt**
**Sales_Dallas_1102_2012.txt**.

I need to insert all these files to tables similar to the file structure. Sales_Newyork_1102_2012 file to Sales_Newyork table and Sales_Texas file to Sales_Texas table and Sales_Dallas_1102_2012 file to Sales_Dallas table.

The catch is that all these table structures differ one to another.

How can i do this using SSIS? I guess using a for each loop with some data flow task would be a start.

Can some body give me a step by step example on how i can achieve this.

Thanks in advance

There are some articles out there you can read

Here is one SSIS - Import Text File[^]

Here is another one: Loop through Flat Files in SQL Server Integration Services[^]

On a side note. Depending on how large the data you have is, it might be better to consider to use one table and add a column with the name of the state.
