I'm not sure how to close the thread and I don't want to commit any mortal sins, so I'll edit my original post with closing remarks. When I turned on "show all symbols" in my input file, there was no space preceding the CRLF. All is well now. Thanks to everyone.

I am a beginner. The code above will display the contents of file.txt. I want to only display records which match the regular expression: /.{54}\\a-zA-Z\s\r\n/g Thank you for any assistance.
