There may have been more than one thing happening in the program but I managed to get past the problem without really knowing what the issue was.

As I said, I had unit tested all of the components of the script and then I put them all together and added all the control. Turns out that (control) was where the problem was.

There wasn't anything wrong with the regexs (other than the fact that the nature of the data leads to false positive matches). The script processed several types of files mapping customer identifiable info to non-specific tokens. So I just decided to kind of start over. I started out processing only 1 type of file and commented out all the rest of the code that had nothing to do with that specific file type. What I found surprised me. There was a block with a LABEL/next LABEL construct and that was going off the rails. I converted it into an until block and the program executed as I had expected it to. Interestingly, a LABEL/last LABEL construct block works fine.
