    print line,

This script has a problem with the first INSERT after CREATE TABLE since line is replaced with a two lines statement (DROP + CREATE), hence the condition in line #64 is not met (no match) and the searching_for_end variable is not reset.

A quick fix is to remove the newline in the middle of line #39 (\n)

Another thing: AUTOINCREMENT should be removed (in mysql it's AUTO_INCREMENT)
