I am in information over-load. I am trying to find the best - most straight forward module to allow me to extract the information that I need. Here is a partial copy of the data file that I will be extracting from:

Basiclly I this is a text print file. I need to get rid of (or ignore) the page title information and blank lines, and also the field descriptors and periods. I believe the ^Z at the bottom is the form feed. Can anyone point me in the right direction on this one? Thank you.
