Thank you Jim. That got me over that hurdel!

Any advice on how to maintain the order of elements in the @header
array and print the value to the right of the "=" sign for each
dataset, and if there is a value in the dataset that doesn't match the
element in the @header simply leave the value blank?

so the output looks like:

Thanks again for all your help.

Chris
