Hello all,

This is way off topic and not even web related, so stop reading if you don't
want to waste your time on it.

A legacy system, which I have no control over, provides a huge text file
with about a hundred separate fixed-length batches.  The frustrating thing
is that they could have combined into one file, but they divided it up and
put the value that distinguishes each batch in a header.  So it has a
heading, then a report, then a heading, etc.  The only way to do anything
with the data is to extract the value from the header and then combine it
with the subsequent rows.

Does anyone know of a product that can extract data from a text file like
that and put it in a useable form?

Thanks.
John
