Hihi there...
As far as stopping the previous code in the middle, that there
boolean idea's something I'd use... professional or not.
Although, if you could provide an example with dummy/trunkated info
in it that might be helpful... I've dealt with parsing area files for
MUDs and they use some pretty cryptic delimiting, so if there's unique
markers, perhaps you could go line by line and simply find the markers
for it...
Example of .are (area) file:
#AREA
<filename>~
<area name>~
{<suggested levels>} <authors>
#MOBILES
#1000
<name>~
<long name>~
<description (can be miltiple lines)>~
etc...
to parse this you use the "#" as a delimiter between each section...
the tilde (~) is also used as a delimiter, other parts are delimited
by spaces, or newline characters, it's a pain to deal with, but when
you step through it line by line, character by character, the unique
markers are quite easy to delimit by...
So, if there are any kind of u nique markers to identify the
records, perhaps you could do it in a similar manner.
To be any more helpful perhaps that snipped of example from your
file would be more help...
Hope I've assisted...

P.S.: Using that random stuff is a good idea, but i'm not sure how you
would do it with the header entry at the top...
