This really is what I need, strange as it may sound.

My source file really is like this also.

Not necessary for my needs right now. I am just going to need this script
for one use, but the resulting data is going to be very helpful. The
script would certainly be more generally useful if it can process more
normal text (and would work for me), but it should be much simpler to make
the script as I need it.
Correction (in all caps): A phrase will be defined as a string len
characters long and with a space at each end AND CONTAINING AT LEAST THREE
WORDS.
Thanks,
Louis
