in thread Large file data extraction

But it doesn't loop to the next record once it finishes extracting the first record

Your regexp is wrong, or your data isn't what you think it is. What's in $allDocs?

someone mentioned that there is no input....I have the file on the command line such that <> refers to it.

It seems that eosbuddy missed or didn't understand <>.

    Thanks everyone, especially Cristoforo. I incorporated suggestions and made a few tweaks and it works fine now (I think), reading only record by record. Thanks again. Can't tell you how much it helped. Best, Michael
