Apologies for the delayed response. While the code here would work that is because we know it has 2 records at the 80th and 160th positions, in actual files there would be thousands or tens of thousands of records. So is there a way to cut or grep each record (from the beginning of the file counting 80 ^@ delimiters), then move it to a temp file, add a \n, then add the second record, and so on, till the end of the file. So that the end result is a file with each record in a row.

Appreciate all your assistance. Thanks.
