I don't have my linux box handy, and thats where all my code snippets are, i'll post them when i get home tonight. Here are some examples of the files:
File 1:
Code:
Type: SystemDeclarationData;7   #inthis example we'll use the "JDLM"  the first 
1BN22IN JDLM CLASS I IV VIII SP         #string i would need to find would be the 
                                                            #"SystenDeclarationData" string.  The next 
                                                            #line contains "JDLM", so i would need to 
                                                             #replace it.  Notice that the term "jdlm"
                                                             #appears elsewhere in the file.  these 
                                                             #instances need to stay as is.

i don't have a copy of the csv file yet. as far as i know it will only consist of two columns.

Code:
NAME  
last, first mi    

NUMBER
this will be a 5-10 digit number

There will be about 1500 instances that will need changed, if not more.
I appreciate the quick replies, I'll post the code that i have as soon as i get home tonight.
Thanks again
