I have about 25 text files containing ~15,000 names/description in this format :

1234 Anthony Hopkins :
Multiline or multipage description.

5678 Leonardo da Vinci :
Multiline or multipage description.

Let's say that I could extract the names/serial numbers and put in a database -each record has these attributes:
idnum, name, file_name

What is the best way to retrieve the description for a given name?
Do I store the position of start/end characters for the description, so I need two additional attributes like:sPos, ePos ???
