This is what I want to do. Read one entry, extract information from it, 
then read next entry. He says using an array will take up a lot of

Yes I am aware of that - I just put "no \n" for emphasis. Regarding the 
pos(), I think he said to use it as a guide to help with the detection 
of each ">" . Thanks for being patient and helping out.
