CSV extractor and merger

I am looking for a small utility (written preferably in Visual Basic), that would take as an input source directory and a list of field names in a configuration file.

The tool should process all .csv files in the source directory and create one output csv file. Each of the source files contains the list of column header in the first rows and only those that are in the configuration file should be written to the output file. In case some of the files from the configuration file are not in the processed file, blank field is populated.

Example:

configuration file ([url removed, login to view])

FIRST_NAME,LAST_NAME,AGE,POSITION

first csv file ([url removed, login to view])

LAST_NAME,FIRST_NAME,BIRTHDAY,AGE

Stam,Jap,Jan 23,30

Cech,Petr,Jul 20,22

Kucera,Petr,Aug 21,36

second csv file ([url removed, login to view])

LAST_NAME,POSITION,AGE,INFO_01,INFO_02

Rosicky,M,23,sample01,sample02

Koller,S,31,sample09,

Nedved,M,34,,

Jankulovski,D,27,,sample11

Resulting file ([url removed, login to view])

FIRST_NAME,LAST_NAME,AGE,POSITION

Jap,Stam,30,

Cech,Petr,22,

Kucera,Petr,36,

Rosicky,,23,M

Koller,,31,S

Nedved,,34,M

Jankulovski,,27,D

NB: First three data rows are from [url removed, login to view], last four are from 2.csv. There is no check for duplicity in the data, etc. Any row from any source file (except from the header rows) results in one row in the output file.

In case of the example and description doesn't make sense, please ask.
