The files are all CSV. Each line is a record.
Each record, or line, contains 32 fixed-length fields separated by commas.
Fields can be left blank (filled with spaces).
Every record follows the same format.
Since the post doesn't allow multiple spaces, I'll try to stick it into HTML tags to see if it will preserve the spacing.
Example of a record:
HTML Code:
"ABC ","G "," ",839573 ," ",4070690 ,"KEYWEST "," ",839573 ,"Z3","352 ",20050613 ," ",0 ,0 ,395.39500000 ,20050614 ,"JFU","K","URE",2390852.832000000 ,"JFU",3200000000.000000000 ,252.3250000 ,.000000000 ,352.232000000 ,.000000000 ,.000000000 ,20050614 ,141147
Is it possible that the double quotes are interfering with the while read command?
