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.

utf2

UTF2(5) 						      BSD File Formats Manual							   UTF2(5)

NAME

     utf2 -- Universal character set Transformation Format encoding of runes

SYNOPSIS

     ENCODING "UTF2"

DESCRIPTION

     The UTF2 encoding has been deprecated in favour of UTF-8.	New applications should not use UTF2.

     The UTF2 encoding is based on a proposed X-Open multibyte FSS-UCS-TF (File System Safe Universal Character Set Transformation Format) encod-
     ing as used in Plan 9 from Bell Labs.  Although it is capable of representing more than 16 bits, the current implementation is limited to 16
     bits as defined by the Unicode Standard.

     UTF2 representation is backwards compatible with ASCII, so 0x00-0x7f refer to the ASCII character set.  The multibyte encoding of runes
     between 0x0080 and 0xffff consist entirely of bytes whose high order bit is set.  The actual encoding is represented by the following table:

     [0x0000 - 0x007f] [00000000.0bbbbbbb] -> 0bbbbbbb
     [0x0080 - 0x07ff] [00000bbb.bbbbbbbb] -> 110bbbbb, 10bbbbbb
     [0x0800 - 0xffff] [bbbbbbbb.bbbbbbbb] -> 1110bbbb, 10bbbbbb, 10bbbbbb

     If more than a single representation of a value exists (for example, 0x00; 0xC0 0x80; 0xE0 0x80 0x80) the shortest representation is always
     used (but the longer ones will be correctly decoded).

     The final three encodings provided by X-Open:

     [00000000.000bbbbb.bbbbbbbb.bbbbbbbb] ->
	     11110bbb, 10bbbbbb, 10bbbbbb, 10bbbbbb

     [000000bb.bbbbbbbb.bbbbbbbb.bbbbbbbb] ->
	     111110bb, 10bbbbbb, 10bbbbbb, 10bbbbbb, 10bbbbbb

     [0bbbbbbb.bbbbbbbb.bbbbbbbb.bbbbbbbb] ->
	     1111110b, 10bbbbbb, 10bbbbbb, 10bbbbbb, 10bbbbbb, 10bbbbbb

     which provides for the entire proposed ISO-10646 31 bit standard are currently not implemented.
