I'm assuming you'd like to upload the report of a tool like Nmap to
Nessus, and split it in the KB for every tested host, right ?

You'd need to use Nessus 2.1 (which supports file upload to the plugins)
and run split()

ie:

in the plugin description section, add :

 script_add_preference(name:"File to use : ", type:"file", value:"");

In the plugin code add :

file_contents = script_get_preference("File to use : ");
if ( ! file_contents ) exit(0);

Then parse the file :

lines = split(file, sep:'\n', keep:0);
foreach line (lines)
{
 # Do stuff
}
