It's not clear to me what you want to do. Do you want to create new records that rearrange each contiguous 11 bytes of the input records into 15 contiguous bytes for the output records? Wouldn't that give you the following output records: 123 456 789abc def ghijkl mnop qr But you show these output records: 123 456 789 abc def ghi jkl qr Where did the extra blank between 789 and abc come from (it's not in input records 1 or 2)? What happened to the mnop bytes from input record 3? What exactly are the rules for going from input to output? Can you show a better example?
