A few Q's:
Do you want to deliberately omit the state from Location field data as
exampled?
Location source data "San Bernadino CA" parses as "San Bernadino"

Must the fieldnames be EXACTLY as depicted...
Location,Store ID,Stock ID,Address,Xroad ID,ID
...or can they be...
Location,StoreID,StockID,Address,XroadID,ID?

The structure of the source data file is important in that it must be
CONSISTENTLY identical file-to-file. So...

Each block of data MUST be structured IDENTICALLY so...
Is the 1st line in the file always going to start with "Location = "?
OR: Will it be blank and "Location = " be line 2?

Is the filename variable or fixed?

Does each line in the source file ALWAYS end with CarriageReturn+LineFeed?
OR Carriagereturn only?
OR LineFeed only?

Can you post a download link to an actual file sample containing only say 10
blocks of data (1st 9 and last 1)?
