And, if the values are to be extracted from the 1st and last data records in the file, we have to know if there are any header and/or trailer lines in the file.

This is why it is crucial that you give us a representative sample of the file(s) you will be processing.

Furthermore, you aren't at all clear about what tools are available for this project. You say the files you want to process are on a server. Will your script be run on that server while you are logged into that server? Will the files be located on one server while the script will be running on a different server?

The more details you hide from us, the less help we will be able to provide.
