I have to say, your post reads a little, let's say "illogically" to me.

First, you say you know why it failed, because there was a lowercase letter in a certain place -- that can't be the reason if it's your s/\"//g that causes the problem.

But later on you also say that you checked the data and it's "all in caps", so, that contradicts what you wrote earlier.

I say, if it ran through 20 iterations then died ("in a weird way"? What was the message in $!?) then I'd say it's an issue with your data on line 19.

Please post again in more detail and more broadly. You've posted that you have problem X, and the reason you've got it is Situation Y and can someone help with Situation Y -- but all you really know is that you've got problem X.
