Just wanted to say thanks to joeyg and chris for the help with this problem. I made adjustments to joeyg's code and it formatted everything perfectly. I did come across with some special characters (40 instances) but removed them and added them back after I was completed with the 60,0000 lines. Thanks for everything guys. I couldn't have done it without any of your suggestions.
