Below is snipit of code that is intended to read in the station_id

expression will not catch the station_id in the 2nd example. Oddly
however, if I paste the data portion of the first file, into the 2nd
file, then the the reg expression catches the station id in the 2nd
example. Any ideas?
I tried your example as posted and it does print out the station_id
from each file.
Thanks for the reply John. I also tried pasting the code into new files
and the code worked. Could there be any kind of oddities in the original
text files that would interfere? I am using emacs to view and edit, so I
assume that weird windows carriage returns would show up.
Any other ideas?
It looks like you are posting from an Apple machine? Are you running
the code on the same machine that you edited it on? Is the data
generated on the same machine that the code is running on?
It *could* be related to the end-of-line character(s) but it is hard to
diagnose from this distance. :-)
