in thread Pre-process csv files before using

This is a small sample of the header data

PDHCSV40EasternDaylightTime240,ERWWCOMMUNITIES.MemoryPagesPERsec,ERWWC
+OMMUNITIESNetworkInterfaceEthernetAdapterModuleBytesTotalPERsec,ERWWC
+OMMUNITIESNetworkInterfaceEthernetAdapterCurrentBandwidth
[download]

In the original data, some of the headers have periods in them. This causes SQL error, so I've been stripping them in a preprocessing program. I'm trying to stream line this, and get rid of the preprocessor.

To test this I've been adding a period in one of the fields. Thats when I get the error. I have inserted a period in the second header value to simulate what I am trying to strip.
