I will try to make this a better post than last.
I figured out how to parse off a ascii file to seperate files with all my fields delimited where I need them by using the 'join' function (with a lot of help I'll add). Then I came accross the next issues. I need to append all the files together again and remove the delimiters.
My initial reaction was to say use the same script, but instead of using the 'join' I should use something like the 'splice' or 'pop' function. But that only takes care of the delimiters right? Not the appending.
