What the hell are you doing? Your post sounds to me like you have a
huge amount of stolen, or at the very least misapprehended, data. Now
you want to search it for credit card numbers and names so that you
can use them.

I am not cool with this! This is a public forum about a programming
language. What makes you think that anybody in this forum will be cool
with that. Perhaps you aren't doing anything illegal, but it sure is
coming off that way. If you are doing something illegal I hope you get
caught.

At the very least, you might want to clarify why you are looking for
such capability so that you don't get effectively black-listed (well,
by me at least).
