parcing question

[rtnMichael]

I have a single file being sent in, and it has a variable number of files in it. I need to parce it into as many files as there are in the single file, and place those files into a different directory. What is the best possible way to do this?

BTW: These inner files are of variable length, also

Thanks

Did you mean to say

I have a single file being sent in, and it has a variable number of [records] in it.

?

I knew I would fumble it up somewhere. yeah, that's what I meant to say, it has a number of records in it that I need to parse and put into individual files.
