Danke. Wow.
The script took a coupla seconds to run. And it leaves the formatting of the text alone.
We (my employer etc) was using a VB v4 executable. It took 10 minutes to run on 10,000 line file. Plus it made everything fixed-width, vs comma seperated.
I only have to do a flip -m on the file when I am done if I made the file with Linux.
Tis nice.
Thanks much. I just wish days like today weren't happening.

No matter how much Microsoft supporters whine about how Linux and other operating systems have just as many bugs as their operating systems do, the bottom line is that the serious, gut-wrenching problems happen on Windows, not on Linux, not on Mac OS. -- [link|http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1622086,00.asp|source]
