Thanks for the comments. It gives me a direction to go in. Since this is really a side project, I'm not devoting a lot of time and energy to it, but it will be helpful in the near future because we have a lot of data to crunch from log files.

Here is a sample of what the data might look at in its rawest form (note, the data looks slightly different depending on its source, W2K or Unix).

__DATA__
Field1=Value1,Field2=Value2,Field3=,Field4=Value4
Field1=Value1,Field2=Value2,Field3=,Field4=Value4
Field1=Value1,Field2=Value2,Field3=,Field4=Value4
[download]

And so on. The Field names might look slightly different depending on the originating platform. I'm sure there is a better way to do this, but I'm still learning.
