Breaking files [message #70883]

Hello,

I have a code that is designed to read and process text files with
this format:

=xxx
id = 1
a = ...
b = ...
c = ...

It starts by reading the data in using file_lines and a string array:

infile = '/path/filename'
n = file_lines(infile)
data = strarr(n)
openr, inunit, infile, /get_lun
readf, inunit, data

... and ends by exporting stuff to another text file.

Now I need to deal with input text files that have a slightly
different format:

=xxx
id = 1
a = ...
b = ...
c = ...
=xxx
id = 2
a = ...
b = ...
c = ...
=xxx
id = 3
a = ...
b = ...
c = ...

They are just multiple files appended together. I was wondering if
there is a simple way of breaking this new big file into multiple
files with the old format so I don't have to change my code
considerably (maybe using the "=xxx" lines to indicate where each file
starts).

Sorry if this is too obvious. I'm new to IDL.

Thank you.
