Re:
The reason I cannot use a comma as a delimiter or anything like that is because the fields are not seperated by a delimiter, but allocated a certain number of bytes.
For example:
Firstname (10) Last Name (10)
MickelsonJackonson ( You will have fields that take up all space in the field and you won't have any commas in there)
I am thinking of using the substr function from awk which will be able to read in the exact bytes from each line and then put it into an array or something to process it.
