Can I do the regex routine (something I don't quite yet understand... but will soon!) on a file I've not wholly read?
Yes.
Maybe something like this:
Start with an empty line accumulator. Repeat Read in a line. (exit if you can't) If it is a delimiter line then Process the accumulated lines put the current line into the accumulator else put the current line after the accumulator
You can use regex for the delimiter line match or you can make your own function that uses contains.
I made some assumptions. You might have to fiddle with what to do with the first one.
I haven't tried it, but you might run into some problems reading some fixed number of chars on a file open for text.
