It is not a collection of strings it is a data structure. Working with it as strings will fail most of the time. VB also uses a CSV as a data object so you are clearly not an experienced or trained VB programmer or you would know this. Guessing never works out well. Please understand that this advice is from some9one with deep experience in both PowerShell and VB languages.
I have been programming for over 40 years and this task is trivial if you learn the basics of programming beyond a casual or entry level. The following free book is0one of the best for quickly learning PowerShell correctly. This ls why I am posting this and will get you up to speed with PowerShell quickly.
Thanks for your response jrv, I just got off work, so I haven't had time to look into the compare-object docs yet. On a previous attempt I did import the CSVs into variables, but still had a few quirks to figure out. I was hoping to get some quick recommendations. You are correct, I'm not a trained or experienced VB programmer. I took a few VB6 courses in college, but majored in networking. I'm occasionally asked to give it the old college try for certain tasks, and I'm not planning on changing professions.
I know what I'm trying to do can also be achieved through VBS and FSO using a few string manipulations, I've successfully dabbled in it before but without the need for comparisons and separate results. With the export of the comparison results as is, I can technically do the rest in VBS, but it will be longer and ugly and obviously not 40yr professional level work.
Unfortunately, I'm doing the best I can with my limited skill set and available time. The main issue is that you think using vague VB5 collage examples and have no experience in progr4amming. What you know is not programming it is just simple coding at teh lowest level. To be a network technician you will need to learn PowerShell as VBS is obsolete and cannot do most network things. There is no support and no future changes to VBS will be made.
While Rich' example may work the solution can be had using three lines of code. Import-Csv and Compare-Object can do that simply. You will need to learn PowerShell in order to become a competent network engineer. It is a requirement now in nearly all major corporations.

Right-clicking the unequal connection line opens a menu with an option to view detailed results. The navigation toolbar at the top lets you quickly locate the first difference between the files. Perhaps an order for customer number was incorrectly entered and needed to be reclassified to a different region and sales rep.
You can select and merge individual differences between the CSV files within this window via a right-click context menu:. You can merge differences in either direction and save the results by updating the existing CSV files or saving new files with new names.
In this mode the tool uses the FMU checker tool. The path to the tool has to be given via command line and optional the arguments for the checker. If not found it searches for a file called "protocol. If no report directory has been set the compare tool uses the directory of the compare file as the location for the master report and saves the reports for the several checks next to the compare CSV. If set all html files are saved in a flat structure in the given report directory using relative hyperlinks to each other to make it possible to disseminate the reports.
CSV comma-separated values is a file format that is used by many tools and lacks a proper standardization. RFC describes the basic definitions that are supported by this comparison tool, too. To receive optimal validation results it is good to use a base file with a better resolution than the compare file, so the tube can be calculated more accurate.
The tool generates html reports that contain scalable vector graphics of all results that are found in both files. Keep that in mind when you compare CSV files with many results as the created html reports can grow too big to be viewed in a browser. The best way is to prepare your base file to contain only results you really want to compare.
