import text from CSV over multiple images

i'm working on a project to create multiple unique files each with unique text. for the sake of example lets say I have 3 unique PSD files each containing 2 lines of "dummy text" currently in place. i'll need to replace the text with 2 specific lines of text from a CSV type document, can be excel doc or CSV. I'm aware that variables can do something similar but the problem is it starts from a single template and i'd need it to essentially start from 3 or more unique templates. i've attached a URL to a sample iamge what i'd like to accomplish. Sorry for the URL but I can't figure out how to post images.....

does anyone know it this is possible in PS? I have CS5

How would the files be referenced in the CSV-file – by name, path, …?
Could you post a sample of a CSV-file?

But basically I’d say this seems do-able with JavaScript in Photoshop.

Mike Hale provided a Script to read CSV-files in a recent thread:
