I meant to post this on the main thread.

I grabbed a few lines of the file:

090071905090405611071905001029842000281253P0223P0504011 80017

06007190545337182980240356129999399013784

There are many more record types. By record types, I mean by the first three characters of each line. This is why I had meant to place into seperate file for manipulation.

thanks
