Wouldn't the recordDelimiter be

return & return       ???


Hello everyone,

I'm processing a large text file where each record consists of several hundred lines of information and is separated from the next record by a single blank line. I'd normally use a handler like the one below, where the variable recordDelimiter catches the characters that mark the end of one record and the beginning of another, but with the delimiter being a blank line in this case, I'm not sure what string I should set recordDelimiter to. I suspect it's something obvious, and I'm just suffering from a mental block (story of my life).

open file filePath for read
  repeat
    read from file filePath until recordDelimiter
    put the result into resultOfRead  -- Check for eof.
    -- Do stuff with the record here.
    if resultOfRead is "eof" then exit repeat
  end repeat

Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

Regards,

Greg
