Hello
I need to extract data from text file, which contain random text at a regular interval.
My text file looks something like this:

2.00 'day' 2000-01-03
'Global Mole Fraction(SOL) - Matrix' ''
    0.850421 0.662334 0.42014 0.304977 0.19464 0.107398 
   0.0579599 0.0352883 0.0235352 0.0138323 0.00822029 0.00476013 
  0.00218838 0.000692394 0.000261295 0.000107044 4.26836E-005 
4.00 'day' 2000-01-05
'Global Mole Fraction(SOL) - Matrix' ''
    0.949048 0.872466 0.744197 0.653951 0.544604 0.421489 
    0.320403 0.254397 0.207999 0.161919 0.126679 0.0969455 
   0.0640893 0.0329477 0.0187245 0.0111829 0.            00651805       
and it goes on in same way for many time steps.

I just want to read the numbers (below global mole fraction). The code I am using now does exactly what I want, but it takes forever for just one file, and I have 1000s of these files . Can anyone help?

Well, how about showing what you're now doing so we don't have to 
reinvent the wheel???
