I've got a strange problem which I'm prone to call a "bug" and yet I'm reluctant to 'go-there' without some guidance from the group (fearing I may have pulled some bone-head stunt that makes it "my fault").
Here's the story - I'm parsing data (thanks to those who pointed me in some very good directions in the past!) by sucking down a web page, massaging the text to dispose of the chaff, and producing the anticipated output - tab delimited, hard return, formatting looks just like I want it. Problem is that this routine takes place about 500 times - going to different pages created by ASP or something and sucking back the data. Along the way, the parsed data gets put into a field "holder" and the next parsed line gets added to the end - no big deal, normally! However, I'm getting strange "characters" when the third or fourth line is written in succession. And if I copy that text off, it is strange indeed... I've stepped through my routine and it is obviously working flawlessly - until we get to that third or fourth iteration... Another "weird" thing I've noticed -- Even though the process cycles to the next record in the list and prepares to grab the file, for some reason, the program "thinks" that we're talking about the last record -- even though the reference to the last record has been deleted from the list. Anybody encountered any similar weirdness that they might be able to tell me about? Anybody want to look at my creation to see if I've gone and done something really stupid (I'm really not seeing a problem here!)?
