By the way my files are of .csv type.
There are no commas in the files. Just double checking. The input and output should have spaces between the fields?

Code:
04/19/2013_23:48:55.823    ABCD    x    x    blank    blank

Do you want the literal word "blank" in the output (as you posted), or do you want x,x,,, or maybe x,x,, (or something else). It would help if you would post the sample output exactly the way you want it (if different from the sample you provided). Smilie

NAME

       RIG - Random Identity Generator

USAGE

       rig [ -f | -m ] [ -d datadir ] [ -c num ]

DESCRIPTION

       Rig is a utility that will piece together a random first name, last name, street number and address, along with a geographically consistant
       (ie, they all match the same area) city, state, ZIP code, and area code.

       It is suitable for such applications as feeding the NY times registration page to fend off junk (snail) mail and telemarketers, or for reg-
       istering on BBS's to which you don't wish to reveal your real information.

OPTIONS

       -f, -m Respectively, use female and male names. If neither or both options are selected, RIG uses both female and male names.

       -d datadir
	      Use data files found in datadir. Without this option, the default directory of /usr/share/rig is assumed.

       -c num Output num identities. Default is 1.

FILES

       /usr/share/rig/locdata.idx
       /usr/share/rig/street.idx
       /usr/share/rig/fnames.idx
       /usr/share/rig/mnames.idx
       /usr/share/rig/lnames.idx

HISTORY

       Based on "fake" written for MS-DOS. Unfortunately the author and publish date are unknown.

       First UNIX version written from scratch in 1999.

       This manpage based on RIG version 1.10.
