Gregg:
This looks like it is relying on a fixed length file. Here is the problem,
the files being parsed are a row of times that appear in a format like
this 08:45 08:53 etc.etc. Tab delimited but there are coded department data
that preface the line like this:
FMK L-300 6:57 7:06 7:13 7:19 7:28 7:36 L-300 FMK
FMK L-300 7:29 7:38 7:45 8:00 8:08 8:12 8:15
8:24 L-300 FMK
The length is a unknown variable of tab delimited time values.
Does that make sense?
