I am reading through a file that has variable length records, records are separated

Neither "&" or "&&" are ever detected.
I have checked the file... & and && are the only thing in the line.
I also have ">" .. aline .. "<" printed and see >&<
I don't know what your read.io function is, but I hope it really returns only one line per call... Now, perhaps you should also check if the line includes the end-of-line character(s) (\n, \r or \r\n). If that's the case, trim them off with a gsub.
