Thanks for the input. My coworker was actually going to use awk but for
some reason it wouldn't work. As it turns out, the problem was with the
customer's data and he was able to explain why it was a problem and they
fixed it. Thank you for all the respsonses.

Re: manipulating csv files
Several people have mentioned Perl. Just wanted to make sure you knew that
most of the code for manipulating csv files is already written and available
for free use on http://www.cpan.org/ . Just search there to find it.
Also, if the coworker doesn't want to worry over building and supporting
a huge package like perl, most of what they will want to do can be done
via ksh and awk, which come on every Unix system I've ever seen.
