in thread Unable to load entire CSV file into DB

Great suggestion, I've written this in as one more safeguard. However, I don't understand all that I'm seeing when I check for ascii or hex values. Here's a dump of a file that looks like this:

,AL,2
,AK,4

[download]

in ascii

A--65
L--76
,--44
2--50

--13
,--44
A--65
K--75
,--44
4--52

--13

What is the blank spot? Even if it's a new line, shouldn't it have a value? Just curious.

    It's printing the value, which is a newline, then showing its numeric (decimal) value. So you see the newline, which shows up as a blank line, then the 13. 13 is a CR.

      Of course! I get it, thanks.
