RecordLists

RecordLists
is an option for ReadList that specifies whether objects from separate records should be returned in separate sublists.

MORE INFORMATION

With the default setting RecordSeparators, setting RecordLists->True makes RecordLists return objects that appear on different lines in different sublists.

With RecordLists->False, ReadList returns a single list of all objects it reads.

With RecordLists->True, ReadList returns a list containing a sublist for each record.
