The posting guidelines work. Problem solved. 1 Gb data file parsed and
reformatted.

Although many of us have a story like this to narrate, thanks for
sharing. Sometimes I devise the solution myself while *composing* the
post. (Not that I've really read the guidelines, ever. Just somehow
follow them out of common sense, and possibly some sparse tip.)


Well, it is, of course, not a rare occurence that I get completely stuck
with something, but, this was a case where it was exceptionally hard for
me to see what I was doing wrong. Just 15 minutes of focusing on the task
of preparing a post helped me solve what I had not been able to solve for
the previous four hours of struggle.

My post was both a reflection of my elation and re-realization that if I
just start preparing a post for this group when I get stuck, I will manage
to extricate myself without needing to actually post the question ;-)
