Hi Gary, I looked through most of the text files (towards the end I just started randomly picking files to look at). You were correct, at least 6 different times the format of these files changed (and then changed back). I believe this was probably due to software updates from previous years, or me playing with options in the VWS software without realizing that it was affecting the data being recorded. I agree with you that trying to come up with a program to read through each of the files and mapping correctly in your wee_import program would not be very productive... there is no way to account for changes made in the format, or an easy way to guess which columns are which. I think the best solution for folks that are in a similar situation is to create CSV file(s) that matches what your import program is looking for.
Once I find some time to start creating the CSV file from all of my text files (I may write a program to somewhat automate this, stopping when it encounters something odd or different) I'll give your latest wee_import a try. I appreciate your time on looking at this. I had no idea that the text files would be inconsistent.
