use Text::CSV;

Here is a tutorial to get you started.

From Text::CSV:

quote_space

By default, a space in a field would trigger quotation. As no rule exists this to be forced in CSV, nor any for the opposite, the default is true for safety. You can exclude the space from this trigger by setting this option to 0.

Removing all commas inside a field is a matter of:

s/,//g; ## OR ## # tr/,/ /;

             When in doubt, mumble; when in trouble, delegate; when in charge, ponder. -- James H. Boren

to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
