read the file line by line. if it doesn't contain your string, write
it to a new file. for each line, use string functions to find the
string you want to remove. One way is to split on ',' or use
csvreader to get a list of words between comma. Print the one you
like and join the values on each side of the text you are looking for.
Write that to a file
Lather, rinse and repeat
