Corona, this is the file I am trying to read and parse. I had to change it to a .txt file for the upload.

I probably did this the hard way, but I iterated through the string 1 character at a time and added that character to a different string. When the character was 253 I added a ~ instead of Character...

Thanks for all the help on this everyone! Once I got it through that I did not need to "stuff" it all into a variable, life became a whole lot better!!

$file EIR.ENTRY2
EIR.ENTRY2: data or International Language text

I did not use any of the flags and used the /etc/magic.cat by default. Is this what you were looking for Corona?

It took me walking away from this and going camping for a weekend to see things from your point of view Corono688. Once I tried to stop stuffing everything in a variable and let UNIX do it's thing,...

Thank you very much for your help!!!!!

NOTE:
cvs = Concurrent Versions System
commit = commit to the cvs repository
-m = What follows in the quotes is the Log message for this revision
"This is" = the Log message for this revision...
