Demultiplexing paired-end illumina data with seprated R1 file, R2 file and index file

Hello everybody, I have a HiSeq paired-end data with three files (R1 file, R2 file and R2 index file). I need to demultiplex them before sample specific analysis and I am still looking for a tool to do that for me. I couldn't find any things. Do you have any suggestion for me? Which program can demultiplex them for me?

Many thanks

sequencing assembly

Are you able to go back and ask your sequence provider to properly demultiplex this data? Is there a reason you have data in this format?

Is there a reason you have data in this format?

I've seen people asking for data like this to be able to follow this QIIME tutorial.

Thank you all for the responses. NO, It is impossible because I asked them TWO times to demultiplex the data for me and they didn't do that. I don't know why.

Have your samples been prepared with standard Illumina kits? Is there anything particular about your libraries? Have the sequencing been performed a long time ago?

By the way, don't you have an R1 index file? I believe you should have two indexes (I1 + I2), or maybe just I1?

My google is probably better than yours:
