I am getting all of the records so it would seem that the program is OK. But experimenting further with the previous console output using puts, whenI remove the Regexp filtering component, I can see all 7,000 records flying by. As the other responder said, it must be the way that things get buffered. Why when I add the Regexp process the console output seems to get constrained is still a mystery. Thank you for your response. db -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
