I can't use colon: as FS because all the 'Descriptions' and 'How to Fix:' fields will be chock full of colons. Unless I somehow change the FS's to something else eccentric first e.g: do a find/replace on 'name:' to 'name*' change 'age:' to 'age*' then use * as FS. This is why I wanted to populate Category: field with all data between Category: and Description: strings, and same for other fields.
