<div dir="ltr">I'm trying to efficiently get data out of csv sheets and compare it against other variables. Since it's arranged according to row, after I read Raymond's message, I played around with sed'ing individual lines directly in an array. Had more luck then I did with columns actually, so at the moment, it's the best bet. Going to attack it again on monday.</div>
