Re: Anything that is not ',' except .... RegEx question

I am working with a CSV file. However I am not sure if the CSV modules suggested below would get around the problem of commas existing where they shouldn't.

Why don't you at least try it, then? There's a good chance it will make you problem a lot simpler (because parsing CSV properly is harder than it looks), and in either case, you'll have learned something about the problem and about Perl.

A word spoken in Mind will reach its own level, in the objective world, by its own weight

No, it's Win. He'll bull through his way, ignore the advice he asked for, and complain when his way doesn't work and we won't help him make it work. When it eventually dawns on him that he's going about it the wrong way he'll expect people here to hand him a working solution on a silver platter with a buttered scone on the side. Update: See? Did I call it or what . . . The cake is a lie. The cake is a lie. The cake is a lie.	[reply]
