Thank you Yoda! This worked like a charm. There was something I forgot to mention that you'll probably know how to address... what if one of the values in the header is something like "PLANET" and I want to tack on whatever that planet is to the front of every line. So for instance:


Row1: (header) Letter, Weight, Color, Cost, PLANET
Row2: A, 20, Blue, 5, MARS
Row3: DD, 200, Orange, 100, REMULAK
... (and so forth)

We now get:

MARS, Letter,A
MARS, Weight,20
MARS, Color,Blue
MARS, Cost,5

REMULAK, Letter,DD
REMULAK, Weight,200
REMULAK, Color,Orange
REMULAK, Cost,100


Thank you Master... Smilie

FOOMATIC-PPD-OPTIONS(1) 				      General Commands Manual					   FOOMATIC-PPD-OPTIONS(1)

NAME

       foomatic-ppd-options - show the PPD options

SYNOPSIS

       foomatic-ppd-options [-d=debuglevel] [ ppdfiles ]

DESCRIPTION

       The  foomatic-ppd-options  program  reads  the specified PPD files or stdin and decodes the PPD file to produce a list of options.  This is
       really just a text based version of other print configuration tools.

       The output format consists of a set of lines, each starting with a keyword, followed by a set of options and the default value.	For  exam-
       ple:

	      makemodel = Tektronix Phaser 350 Foomatic/Postscript (recommended)
	      name=PageSize; default=Letter; options=Letter (US Letter), 
		  A4 (A4), 11x17 (11x17), A3 (A3), A5 (A5), B5 (B5 (JIS)),...
	      name=PageRegion; default=Letter; options=Letter (US Letter), A4 (A4), ...

       Each  option  starts with the name tag, followed by a default value (if any), followed by the set of options and a comment describing them.
       Punctuation in the comment is escaped.

   Options
       -ddebuglevel
	    Set the debug level. 0 disables debug messages.

       [ files ]
	    The list of PPD files to read for options.	A '-' causes STDIN to be read.

EXIT STATUS

       foomatic-ppd-options exits with a 0 status if successful, and nonzero if an error.  An error message is	also  printed  on  standard  error
       (STDERR).
