---------- Post updated at 10:43 AM ---------- Previous update was at 10:11 AM ----------

i had a look on the other thread, replicated the test on my pc. tried to adjust it to

Code:
awk -F, -v HD="IP address,PC name,destination,UTC begin,UTC end,destination IP address,duration (ms),local begin,local end,source IP address,actual extension,original called party,original calling party" '
BEGIN           {for (N=i=split (HD, T); i>0; i--) SRCH[T[i]]
                 for (i=1; i<=N; i++) printf "%s\t", T[i]
                 print ""
                }
FNR==1 && L     {for (i=1; i<=N; i++) printf "%s\t", PR[T[i]]
                 print ""
                 delete PR
                }

$1 in SRCH      {PR[$1]=$NF
                 L=1
                }
END             {for (i=1; i<=N; i++) printf "%s\t", PR[T[i]]
                 print ""
                }
'  *

but got this

Code:
IP address      PC name destination     UTC begin       UTC end  destination IP address  duration (ms)   local begin     local end        source IP address       actual extension        original called party    original calling party

thanks
