Hi All,

I'm just wondering, what should be your approach here:

Here's the content of text file:

What should be the best approach here?

Thanks in advance.

First you need to establish what constitutes a block of text.
From what I can see, a block starts with a line ending in 091.
That would be your queue.
Read the text file line by line in a For loop and examine each line to see if it contains that number, with the exeption of the very first line.
Once that's been located, call a method taking the block of text as a argument and perform some kind of action, and resume the iteration when that is done.

Approach to what, are you loading the rows into a database?
