Greetings,

I get data in CSV files from several different sites and I can't get the date/time formats to be consistent, let alone have the fields arranged in the same order.

I can put in the field/column names by hand in a first record but I can't find hoe to go about using them to change my split operation to get the info from the right place depending on the first record that I will add to the file.

eg. one file will have columns name,title,phone, snail-mail-addr,email while another file will have name,email,phone,title. I can certainly change the perl program, but as often as I would have to change it the failure rate woould be pretty high!

I am certain there is some sneaky perl trick that will accomplish this, but I haven't been able to find it!

Many TIA!
Dennis
