Update 2: I re-ran your programme with the "real" life data and it works fine again. The error you are looking for is not in the code you posted.

Maybe you don't see the print output because it is redirected somewhere you didn't expect?

Update: I searched for the string in your data, and my browser told me it wasn't there... now I see it. Whatever went wrong.

In your Dumper output of the test data, there is no string that matches "PRCIII".

That in turn makes your test for the string "PRCIII" fail.
In order to make it succeed, put that string in your test data.

Cheers, Sören
