I did not see your reply with the alternate code. Thanks for that. As far as the "algorithm", lol, there really is nothing more to it. The actual file does not contain student grade data but it does have names, categories and title and then a numerical column which needs to be averaged for all titles and then a string value given based on avg per name, as you have helped me with here.
I actually have another issue. Posting it here for reference but will start a new thread and give a bit of back story on it, but I need to do the same EXACT thing, only now in Perl.... Like I said, I will explain more in a new thread, so this one can be closed properly.

uselocale
USELOCALE(3) Linux Programmer's Manual USELOCALE(3)
NAME
uselocale - set/get the locale for the calling thread
SYNOPSIS
#include <locale.h>
locale_t uselocale(locale_t newloc);
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
uselocale():
Since glibc 2.10:
_XOPEN_SOURCE >= 700
Before glibc 2.10:
_GNU_SOURCE
DESCRIPTION
The uselocale() function sets the current locale for the calling thread, and returns the thread's previously current locale. After a suc-
cessful call to uselocale(), any calls by this thread to functions that depend on the locale will operate as though the locale has been set
to newloc.
The newloc argument can have one of the following values:
A handle returned by a call to newlocale(3) or duplocale(3)
The calling thread's current locale is set to the specified locale.
The special locale object handle LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE
The calling thread's current locale is set to the global locale determined by setlocale(3).
(locale_t) 0
The calling thread's current locale is left unchanged (and the current locale is returned as the function result).
RETURN VALUE
On success, uselocale() returns the locale handle that was set by the previous call to uselocale() in this thread, or LC_GLOBAL_HANDLE if
there was no such previous call. On error, it returns (locale_t) 0, and sets errno to indicate the cause of the error.
ERRORS
EINVAL newloc does not refer to a valid locale object.
VERSIONS
The uselocale() function first appeared in version 2.3 of the GNU C library.
CONFORMING TO
POSIX.1-2008.
NOTES
Unlike setlocale(3), uselocale() does not allow selective replacement of individual locale categories. To employ a locale that differs in
only a few categories from the current locale, use calls to duplocale(3) and newlocale(3) to obtain a locale object equivalent to the cur-
rent locale and modify the desired categories in that object.
EXAMPLE
See newlocale(3) and duplocale(3).
