Thanks, Bob, but the problem is that when using the split command with delims the engine presumes you want to split by row, with no option (AFAIK) for splitting by column.

The line you wrote would give me an array like this:

Key    Value
----   ---------------------------
ID     Name   Email
101    Richard  r...@somedomain.com

...but what I'm hoping to get is:

Key    Value
----   ---------------------------
ID     101
Name   Richard
Email  r...@somedomain.com
