Where is the $var_Host info to be found?

--- Post updated at 17:39 ---

Assuming / inferring you mixed up var_Host and var_Name, how far would this:

Code:
awk -F, '
        {sub (/var_/, "", $1)
         MD = NF
         for (i=2; i<=NF; i++) DATA[$1, i] = $i
        }

END     {for (i=2; i<=MD; i++)  {print "Test connection to", DATA["Name", i], "from", DATA["Location", i], "in", DATA["City", i] ORS \
                                 "Use", DATA["Ipaddress", i], DATA["Port", i], "to connect" ORS \
                                 "Note: Apply this", DATA["Data", i], "and", DATA["String", i] ORS \
                                 "Check:", DATA["Comment", i]  > (DATA["Site", i] "-file.txt")
                                }
        }
 ' file

get you?


Be aware that your sampe file seems to be UTF-8 Unicode (with BOM) text - remove the BOM before applying this solution or adapt for the BOM.
