Sorry, one more quick question. If I wanted to keep the delimiter in the separate files, how would that change the code. For example if my example is:

header
-----
body
-----
footer


The separate files should have the text and then delimiter following it with the exception of the last file. So the first file would be:


header
------


Thanks!
