If you choose not to show us sample data that reflects the contents of your actual files, the likelihood of getting a suggestion that will work for you diminishes greatly. If what you are given as suggestions don't work for you, we will have to assume that you will be able to modify our suggestions to work with your real data.

We certainly know that you won't complain that our suggestions don't work with your real data if you are unwilling to tell us what your real data looks like.
