That's great except for the fact that each data file is 1000 records with 35

No. In that case you read from a file as I suggested you would want
to. Use the same routines, text item delimiters, list etc. as in the
examples I gave but read your file to get the lines and write to
another file:
set s to "Bob 10 July, 4
Ted 10 July, 4
Carol 09 July, 4
Alice 09 July, 4
John 09 July, 4
Jane 02 July, 4
Fred 02 July, 4
Jim 01 July, 4"
set _fin to "/tmp/readme"
set _fout to "/tmp/writeme"
set _finmac to _fin as POSIX file
set _foutmac to _fout as POSIX file
open for access _finmac with write permission
write s as Unicode text to _finmac
close access _finmac
--That's your original file created
open for access _finmac
open for access _foutmac with write permission
repeat
try
set _line to read _finmac until return -- OR ASCII CHARACTER 10 !!!!
--do things with _line -- <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
write _line to _foutmac
on error
beep
exit repeat
end try
end repeat
close access _finmac
close access _foutmac
read _foutmac
