in reply to split a file into records and process it

And after 31 is the line
4 different hits
That type of line only appears if there is more than one 'hit'? Always in that form? If so /^(\d+) different hits$/ would be useful?

Normalising - don't you just love it :-)

When I get to about 95% success I consider doing the rest by eye. How much of this stuff do you have?

    Oh, I have some of it, I was gonna get into normalization and polishing my code later... that note appears when there is more than one hit, but I can clean it up since it would be obvious that there's actually more than one hit, hence it is needless ...

    Here's my so-messed-up code which I would tend to after having figured with the wiser monks a way addressing my original query..
