[KLUG Members] Parsing a large file

[Andrew Eidson]

Hmm.. well guess I am up for some heavy reading then.. I have never used
awk.. and since this has to be done by monday I will be reading and working
through the weekend.. could this be done in Python as easily or not.. I
atleast know a little Python were it may be quicker for me to get to the end
result.

You be able to take it apart with something like awk very easily.
