Hello Monks,

I'm a newbie and I need some help with the following: This is my text file which I'm reading a string and if the string is shown later in my text file. I want to group them together and print it out according to the strings that match. I don't know if I'm wording this correctly but if you don't understand what I'm trying to say, I will try to rephrase it. Thanks!!

Kim,0,0,off
Kim,1,1,on
Tyra,0,0,off
Tyra,1,1,on
Rada,0,0,zero
Rada,1,1,one

My output is suppose to look like this:
Kim,on,off
Tyra,on,off
Rada,one, zero
