in reply to help with processing some archaeological data needed

If somewhere in the program there is a line containing __DATA__ or __END__ with stuff following it that looks like it may be your data, simply replace the data looking stuff with new data in the same format.

Alternatively, if the program is small, you could probably post it here and the monks will help you with it. If you do post it here make sure you have read the Writeup Formatting Tips section, particuarly the <code></code> and <readmore></readmore> bits.

    Hey! Thanks very much for your replies. From reading all three responses I worked out that the program was taking data files from a folder named data - so I moved what was in there and put in a new data file. After a few attempts trying out your ideas, I got the program to work and produce an output file that looked sensible to me. I never thought I would be able to sort this out - your help made all the difference. I am very happy - thanks again!
