An ETL tool from the Pentaho BI suite. http://kettle.pentaho.org/ I've been playing with it for some of my projects. Java based GUI. Open source. Tried is since my previous post above and thought it might be something to consider also. Here's a link to the product overview screencast. http://www.pentaho.com/products/demos/PDI_overview/PDI_overview.html Have you tried to use Kettle?

Specifically, it uses the DictReader method to create a dictionary (Python hashes) with the names of the columns. It's rather convenient. Python has a similar feature in the csv module.

Sometimes just poorly formatted text. I just read an article about importing text, that you might find interesting. http://www.simple-talk.com/sql/t-sql-programming/importing-text-based-data-workbench/ I enjoy reading your blog. I'm adding R and Ruby to my research toolbox and appreciate your insights. I often have to process CSV files in my work. Sometimes just poorly formatted text.
