hi am trying to parse text files using a suitable filter however getting stuck, the file looks as under  
file name@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@dummy report 1.docx  
data = ROUTINE REPORT

from = 17  
to = 70  
orig = main office  
info =  
HQ Benz  
india office  
bangladesh office  
srilanka office

activity : sales  
location: new delhi,34.08374  
total sold: 03

dealers : XYZ Automobiles

models: pqr,qws,wer

activity : servicing  
Location: mumbai,34.08374, 74.789902

problems: engine malfunctioning, tail light problem,axle problem

service centre: Das autos

Date: 29052020  
i need to split these something into key value pairs which are seperated by either "=" or ":" . there will be a case wherein each file will have more or lesser fields or maybe os similar or dissimilar order.

please suggest what should be the approach
