Hi Prabu. Can you explain better what it is you need to do? Reading multi-line records from a file is a problem in itself; have you got that far? A (real) example of your data would help a lot. Try not to show us an invented example, as your analysis may be wrong, but I know it can be difficult to publish live data.
