Closer to the first one, what I'm exactly looking for is 
H1,T1.1 CRLF T1.2 crlf,H2,T2.1 CRLF T2.2 CRLF

While the headings are supposed to be same in all of my files, I.e. they will always appear in the same order, and all of the headings will appear, I know they arn't. So I'm figuring that I'll need to have the heading as part of the record, that way if for example I have something like 
H1:
T1.1
T1.2
H3:
T3.1
T3.2
T3.3

[download]
I can generate something like: 
H1,T1.1 CRLF T1.2 CRLF,H3,T3.1 CRLF T3.2 CRLF T3.3 CRLF

[download]
and from that generate... 
H1,T1.1 CRLF T1.2 CRLF,H2,,H3,T3.1 CRLF T3.2 CRLF T3.3 CRLF

Since the H2 heading didn't appear in the data, I will have to force in in the final file. I planned this to be a two steep process. I hope that explains things better. Bentov
