Here's why I'm having trouble with doing it this way: the lengths of line 2 and line 3 will always be constant. A SSN is 9 numbers and the employee number will always be 4 numbers. But names are variable lengths. Plus, not every employee will have been hired at the exact same time, so the number of clock in and clock out timestamps is bound to be different from file to file, making for different file lengths. So wouldn't getting byte lengths and string lengths, even with the Split function be useless in this context, since those things change from one employee file to the next? The way I do it with random files is to allow a reasonable maximum for each field.
