Divide Large Data Blob?

Hi Ralph,
I was looking at filter. It might help me to
cut down on the amount of data to search,
but I would still have to throw out the
first 1/3 of the data. Perhaps filtering
first and then processing what’s left
by line number wouldn’t be too slow.
Thanks for the suggestion!
