I have a script that prints data sucessfully to a file. The file is in the form of: 
USER 1
LOGIN date
MORE info
MORE info

USER 2
LOGIN date
MORE info
MORE info

USER3
etc...

[download]
what I want to do, and this part is easy is to do is 
__BEGIN__
USER 1
LOGIN date
MORE info
MORE info
__END__
__BEGIN__
USER 2
LOGIN date
MORE info
MORE info
__END__
__BEGIN__
USER3
etc...
__END__

[download]
what im having trouble with at the moment is foreach set of __BEGIN__ and __END__ I want to process user1's info, then move onto user2, user3, etc...
Im thinking this is simple, but at the moment am coming up empty. I think Im thinking too hard as to what the problem actually is.
Thanks, Ted

**Update** I did see some nodes with similar problems, but Im not sure they are the same. (or) It could also be that Im just looking at it wrong.
