Import and scale LaTeX table data from file (only ampersand stuff)

Is it possible to create a table and include only the pure data from an external file (only ampersand delimited stuff). Is it also possible to scale a table because data is vast and I don't want to keep on messing with table width and heights??

\begin{table}[H!]   
\centering  
\begin{tabular}{llllllll}
\input{stuff};
\end{tabular}   
\caption{This is a caption} 
\label{xxxx}    
\end{table}

I want to import the data on the \input{stuff} part

Use braces not parentheses. That is \input{stuff}. – Steven B. Segletes Aug 06 '14 at 15:25

This question http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/163246/resize-a-tabular-object-to-textwidth addresses the issue of rescaling tabular material to \textwidth. – Steven B. Segletes Aug 06 '14 at 15:26

With braces (as edited), it should work just fine. – Steven B. Segletes Aug 06 '14 at 15:28

Since the import problem is evidently solved, I vote to close as a duplicate of the scaling question linked above. – Paul Gessler Apr 19 '15 at 17:57
