Subject: unpack string incorrect when one fieldname is substring of other fieldname

Dear Mr Carroll, First thank you for making this module available. It makes my life much easier. But it does give me one headache. And that is: I have several header names. For example DA1 and further on the line A1. Now the index of these fields become index of 'D' (e.g. 0) and for A1 I get a 1. But that is of course not correct. Is there a way around it that I missed or is it a bug? Sadly I have multiple files with different sorting of the headers, so setting the unpack string myself is not an option. I hope you can help me. Best regards, Angelo
