Do you want just chunks of 500 or 600 bytes, or breaks at particular points
along the way? If just junks, then you could use length, substr to get at the chunks.
If a particular character or character string, then you could use a regex and parens
to grab and process what you want.
Any questions and/or problems, please let me know.
Thanks.
