I would like to know if a file with a mixed format can b read or not? Or how can a file with two different formats be read? Can some one please guide me on this?

Yes, DataReader and DataWriter components handle mixed data format (combination between fixlen and delimited data format).
Consider this type of metadata:
<Record name="defaultRecordName" type="mixed">
<Field name="Field1" nullable="true" shift="0" delimiter=";" type="string"/>
<Field name="Field2" nullable="true" shift="0" size="3" type="integer"/>
<Field name="Field3" nullable="true" shift="0" size="1" type="integer"/>
<Field name="Field4" nullable="true" shift="0" delimiter="\r\n" type="string"/>
</Record>
And this data file:
Martin;1234Otasanek
Jim;5678Steeve
This result in this table:
+-------+---------+---------+---------+-----------+
|Record |Field1 |Field2 |Field3 |Field4 |
+-------+---------+---------+---------+-----------+
|# 1 |Martin |123 |4 |Otasanek|
|# 2 |Jim |567 |8 |Steeve |
+-------+---------+---------+---------+-----------+
Unfortunately this type of metadata is not direct supported in actual clover GUI release.
