@jettero : I am working with archaic system and new to Perl :) Yes, i thing i will try to dump a hex and work on it. It sounds better. I will give it a shot.

I have taken, hex unload to a file. It contains around 25,000 records. It is not possible to extract a single record (unique keys are such, that i cannot use them at runtime). So now i want to read , 32 bytes of this file ( the hex dump) at a time (in an scalar variable) and skip 2 bytes after - each 32 byte read. can you suggest me a way to do this!
