in reply to Program Structure

While merlyn addressed your immediate issue, I would suggest restructuring your design so that you're using something like a relational database vs. regenerating this data every time.

My criteria for good software:
  1. Does it work?
  2. Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?

    The problem with NetFlow data is that the reports have to be regenerated. Generally the report is done on a days worth of statistics. So if I want to create a report for Tuesday, I can't use any data that has to do with Monday.

    If I understand the way the data is store it is already in a database type of file, they just break them down into five minute files so there is more granularity.
