Can you post:
1) The format of the original file with sample data, making it clear whether there are field delimiters and which field is the "ID".
2) Estimate the maximum number of IDs.
3) Sample IDs - expecially if they are variable length and could be contained within another ID (e.g. "foobar" and "myfoobar")
