I've tried some suggestions with the real case I have, but I haven't had any success. Perhaps if I show you what I am working with it will make more sense. The following is a CSV file that I am working on:

Code:

 eDir Top N Report , logoRpt 
 All LAN Interface for ACCESS 
 Shown: Errors above 1.0 K or BW Util above 70.0 

  , Errors , BW Util 
  ,   , % 
  , Above , Above 
  ,  ,  
 Element , 1.0 K , 70.0 
 cat65-acomp-d,FastEthernet4/18 ,974787.00000000,0.03142596
 ios6-zdc-g2,TenGigabitEthernet6/4 ,887644.00000000,0.42693967
 ios6-dc-a,GigabitEthernet2/12 ,71172.00000000,12.59653282

What I am trying to make it look at is the following:

Code:

 Hostname,Interface,Number of Errors,Bandwidth Utilization
 cat65-acomp-d,FastEthernet4/18 ,974787.00000000,0.03142596
 ios6-zdc-g2,TenGigabitEthernet6/4 ,887644.00000000,0.42693967
 ios6-dc-a,GigabitEthernet2/12 ,71172.00000000,12.59653282

The bold parts are the items that are actually changing. So in this case, the report I run will always start with "eDir" and end with "70.0" (The second occurrence for those eagle eyed). I want that replaced with what is in the second example. Any chance on getting that to work? Thank you again for all your help, I do appreciate it.
