In an example previously submitted, I had a large file with multiple lines, with condensing many lines containing the same access privileges on a file being condensed.

The_DJ posted an option to slurp in an entire file into an array of arrays.

I took that example and in processing my file, it wasn't handling quoted fields in the original file that had commas within the quoted fields.

Perhaps in only showing one line of data, with an example, it made it sound easy to solve within a single line.

I thought that in slurping in an entire file, there was a mode I could properly switch to for handling the quoted fields (with embedded commas). I wasn't able to figure it out, and was asking if I was misunderstanding the documentation.
