• I have the desired process down to 11 seconds using my two favorite tools of "Divide'n'Conquer" and the DelimitedSplit8K function on my old 32 bit single 1.8 Ghz cpu 11 year old machine. I need to clean the code up, test it on a slightly more modern machine, and then I'll post my solution. Going to bed... finally.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
