There's always a lib. That'll do fine. Would be curious if people know a way to do this without the lib, but this does exactly what I need. Thanks!	[reply]

Take a look at the source code for Text::CSV and look specifically at the `parse()` method. (Text-CSV-0.01/CSV.pm)	[reply] [d/l]

In nearly thirty five years of engineering I find that whilst wheels are wonderful things to invent that I could waste far too much time re-inventing all of the wheels I have had to deal with! I therefore subscribe to that wonderful programmers virtue - laziness - akin to the great engineering virtue of expediency. Sure you can do it yourself, and module source code is a great place to learn. The parse method in Text::CSV is simply elegant. But prior to starting to use the module back in 2000 I had maintained a bundle of my own code that kept running into problems - the module has never let me down. jdtoronto	[reply]
