Re^2: Parsing a table with variable columns on each line

Thank you Ikegami,
The outputs aren't quite what I had in mind but I couldn't really represent my data accurately. I think now with a starting point I can fiddle about and get somewhere with this file.

Thank you for you time and wisdom.
Have a nice weekend.

The outputs aren't quite what I had in mind I don't understand. The output is exactly what you requested. `Apples 0.5 -10 Emma:17:15:14:18 Apples 0.5 -10 Peter:2:7:4:1 Pears 0.7 -12 Alex:101:144:110:111 Oranges 0.8 -14 Shan:12:14:9:57 Oranges 0.8 -14 Heena:65:17:15:24 Oranges 0.8 -14 Rachel:1:5:18:54` [download] ...except for the second snippet. It had a bug that's now fixed.	[reply] [d/l]
