i try to make a kind of mapping from a external vb application. from
this application i want to open a .csv file, search for a string in the
first column and return the string from the second column in the same
row.

searchstring: "test"


1. column 2.column

monday january
tuesday february
wendsday march
..... .....
..... ......
.... ......
test testback
