OK.  Try this as a file content:

============================================================= (BOF)
Gibberish

Gibberish

Gibberish

Case #1 Output
1    2
2    4
3    6
4    8
5    10
6    12
7    14

Gibberish

Gibberish

Gibberish

Case #2 Output
1    1
2    3
3    5
4    7
5    9
6    11
7    13

Gibberish

Gibberish

Gibberish
========================================================== (EOF)


I parse the file and identify the data associated with the first case, 
and load it up into an array.  I then parse through gibberish until I 
identify the data associated with the second case.  Now what?
