I am trying to open an ASCII file in QGIS but I am having some difficulties with the formatting.

I know the X and Y field names must be selected, but under 'sample data', the data appears under one column, rather than individual columns, so I can't set the appropriate X and Y fields.

Attached is a screenshot of the issue.

I am uploading the file via Layer -> Add layer -> Add delimited text layer.
