The item is actually the data from the prvious item, and the data for this field is the item from the next item orphaning the data attached to it. Anyone else experience this issue? I'm wondering if this has to do with the formatting of the txt file. Will it make such a difference if I used a made up extension like .hsh or something?

You shouldn't edit hsaved data in an editor anyway - just in case you do

I'm wondering if it is an issue with Windows and the format of a txt file messing up the character that seperates the data. However, I did look at the hash table with a dialog that reads hash tables, but in the actual file I see the same errors.
