in reply to scoping problem?

Update on the issue of possible non-printable characters:

the bash command 'file' tells me that the text file I'm reading in is encoded as follows:

Little-endian UTF-16 Unicode
Could this be causing my calls to the match operator to work differently than I think they are?
