Dave,
technically you are correct about escaping the dot, but in this particular
situation my regexp is working. I will escape the dot.
my goal again is to print from one sting to another.... from "allsets"
down. I apologize for the long output if data, but I want to reflect 100%
accuracy.
Any ideas on a simple for loop with a regexp?
thanks
Dave Gray

Why do you want to use \G?

You need to escape dots in regular expressions '\.'

Your regex isn't capturing anything, so $1 will always be undefined.

What are you trying to do here? You need to escape dots in regular
expressions '\.'

I think you would benefit greatly from trying to generalize your
problem and writing a simple test script that simulates the problem
you're trying to solve. Then if you're still stuck, post that test
script here, as opposed to that 5 billion line data file which is
mostly irrelevant anyway.
