Split and Combine

[Raymond E. Griffith]

I am getting back into programming after being overrun with other tasks
necessary in making a living.

I am using split and combine with tab-delimited data. The data is returned
in a different order with combine than it was originally configured. I can,
of course, regather the data with a repeat for each line in keys(foo) type
of coding, but that is less efficient. It also appears to affect lines with
larger than nine entries. Any ideas?
