Do you have any way to test that code on some Linux machine? I made some simple test with file containing one line with 4 milion random characters and it ran successfully on Linux:
Code:
[root@rhel ~]# wc -c big2
4079997 big2
[root@rhel ~]# wc -l big2
1 big2
[root@rhel ~]# grep -o ".ISA." big2
|ISA|
[root@rhel ~]# awk -mr 99999999 '{gsub("[^a-zA-Z0-9]ISA[^a-zA-Z0-9]","\n&")}1' big2 > big3
[root@rhel ~]# wc -l big3
2 big3

As you can see big2 got cut into two lines as a result of that one-liner. I would really recommend trying Linux for that task.

Ok will do ... which flavor of Linux do you recommend ... Ubuntu? Fedora? something else?

PS: I don't have access to a unix box ... I'll have to install/run linux in windows

Any relatively updated distribution will do. For the ease of installation and later usage I would recommend Ubuntu installed in VirtualBox Smilie
