Thanks for the fast reply!

Input is from the various workstations that users log into, via that perl script. It outputs the username and time in minutes,
Code:
  dronnow 40
  dwright3 272
  esoto1 52
  ewhite5 36
  gliu3 327
  gshaw1 382

I will make another csv file with their details having
Code:
username,supervisor,account_number
dwright3,Creary,327531**********
gliu3,Miller,330198**********

I would like something that takes the user login time and adds each individuals account_number and supervisor, plus what instrument/workstation the time was on (different rates for different instruments). This can probably be accomplished by setting the first variable ($1=Bruker_600) or something.

Output must be like this with a header then usage charges:
Code:
Primary Comments,Customer Account Number,Transaction Date,Service Description,Quantity,Unit,Price,Service Category,PI's Name,Purchaser's Last Name,Short Contributing Center Name,Resource Name,Line Item Assistant,Line Item Comments
600 NMR,201895**********,07/31/13,600 MHz,34.97,Hour,6,600 MHz,Ash,Ash,"""""",600 NMR,"""""",""""""
600 NMR,327531**********,07/31/13,600 MHz,25.25,Hour,6,600 MHz,Creary,Creary,"""""",600 NMR,"""""",""""""
600 NMR,261485**********,07/31/13,600 MHz,33.55,Hour,6,600 MHz,Helquist,Helquist,"""""",600 NMR,"""""",""""""
600 NMR,330198**********,07/31/13,600 MHz,11.48,Hour,6,600 MHz,Miller,Miller,"""""",600 NMR,"""""",""""""

I should add, this only needs to be done once a month. The perl script will run at 0001 on the 1st of the month for last months login data, eg wtmp.1

fmscan

FM(1)							      General Commands Manual							     FM(1)

NAME

       fmscan - scan FM band for radio stations

SYNOPSIS

       fm [ -h ] [ -d device ] [ -t tuner ] [ -s freq ] [ -e freq ] [ -i freq ] [ -q ]

DESCRIPTION

       fmscan  is a program to scan a frequency band for radio stations, using the video4linux interface introduced in 2.1.x series Linux kernels.
       It shows which ones have a accumulated signal strength of 50% or higher.

   OPTIONS
       -h     Print a usage message to standard output, and exit.

       -d device
	      Sets device as the device to tune.  The default is /dev/radio0.

       -t tuner
	      Sets tuner as the tuner on the selected device to adjust.  The default is tuner 0.  Most radio devices have only a single tuner.

       -s freq
	      Starting frequency for scan, in MHz.  Default: 87.9.

       -e freq
	      Ending frequency for scan, in MHz.  Default: 107.9.

       -i freq
	      Increment between scanned channels, in MHz.  Default: 0.2.

       -t percent
	      Signal strength threshold to consider a channel.	Default: 50%.

       -q     Quiet mode.  Suppresses progress output.

BUGS

       This process can take a while, and results vary greatly depending on the radio card in use.  If your card's hardware cannot  report  signal
       strength, it will not produce useful results.

       This program may not do much if your radio card's driver doesn't support fine tuning in 1/16000 MHz offsets.  By default, V4L2 assumes 1/16
       MHz tuning units, which introduces evil rounding errors on many frequencies.

       Supports only tuner 0 on any given device.
