To be short... I'm trying to replicate a file with respect of the RRN numbers.

And to make it more complex... I can't replicate it in sequential order, but it needs to be random.
And second... the files don't have the same layout.

Very interesting. Why can't it be in sequential order?

Regardless of your answer to the above (which I am still interested
in), if you can afford to make two passes, then the second pass can be
sequential.

For smallish files, the first pass could even be into memory.
