I am attempting to process a fix fielded file where each "line" (delimited the unix way) is a record and the fields are specified lengths. I have been searching through the Transcript language dictionary with little luch on how I should go about this. Is there a perl style unpack function? What functions should I reference? Another problem that I may need assistance with is the file is significantly larger than memory will allow how so I read parts?
