Subject:      rename question
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed

Hi all,
I would like to rename the variables data1 - data1000 using the values of
other variables in the file,
name1 - name1000.  Here is what my data looks like now:

name1   data1  name2   data2
_a              1           _a     4
_b              2        _d        5
_c              3        _b          6

And what I would like to see:
_a      _b      _c      _d
1       2       3       5
4       6
Thanks for any help!
Maureen
