So you have ten lines of data that have to fit into three four line fields? And this does not divide evenly so you made two sets of three lines and one set of four? Could there have been another possible valid breakup of that data into the three fields? And the data might of necessity run to a group of five lines, creating a widow (or in another scenario, an orphan)?
That you have to add a page numbering line just reduces the available field lines from four to three, correct? Did you note that all my comments are questions? Is one entire record that original ten lines? Or does it comprise more than one record? Do the "$" symbols indicate logical separations in the data? If so, do not these delimit your data cleanly so you can parse it? I see a pile of lines that has to be broken in some controlled way into smaller piles based on some logic that keeps certain lines together. I thought you had added the "$" signs for just that purpose; a superfluous delimiter that you can use to do the breaking up, and then delete en masse. I assume you always know where to put the delimiters based on the structure of your data and the way it needs to be outputted. Why do I think I am not getting it?
