split messages in text file

[Mason Miller]

I am trying to write a script that will search though a smat file and get fields out of the PV1 segment and PID segment but I am having trouble getting the messages split into a list, I can split each segment but not sure how to split by message I am running this on windows.  any suggestions would be appreciated this is what I am trying with no success

Code:

set fileid [open c:mmm_recv.msg r]
set filedata [read $fileid]

set fileout [open c:mmm_recv_ecdnums.csv w+]
set MSG [split $filedata “MSH”]

I got it to work I added a : before all the MSH segments then split by : probably not the best way to do this but if works.
