it should be pretty easy to do with a shell script. you didn't include an example of what the file looks like, but a perl or shell script should be able to do that quite easily. it might be trickier to figure out a way to get the nicknames right, and to escape / quote characters that need it, but with a bit of editing should be pretty simple. -- Experience -- a great teacher, but the tutition fees...
