Not really an answer to your question, but this is just what a
Dictionary is for.
The read loop can be fully pararmeterized. The object could have
methods such as (I'm doing this off the top of my head without RB or
any documentation available):
Function GetFred as String
if dict = nil or not dict.HasKey("Fred") then return ""
return dict.Value("Fred")
You should be able to get the idea.
