The assumption Chris made is that the characters XYC do *not* appear
anywhere else in each string. if they do, then you need to write a spec
as to what criteria you can count on for the data.
If somebody has mangled all those lines into one long string, it's quite
likely that they CANNOT be reliably separated again. Chris' suggestion
is the most likely candidate, but ...
