No, because my data itself can have those separators which the CSV will be using. so these separators may clash, and data parsed wrongly !! Sathiyamoorthy	[reply]

Do you really think CSV could be so popular if that wasn't a tackled problem? In CSV, there's a way to protect separators occuring inside data fields.	[reply]

CVS has standard ways to handle special characters in data: `1,2,3,4 is (1, 2, 3, 4) 1,"2,2,2",3,4 is (2, '2,2,2', 3, 4) 1,"2,""2""2",3 is (1, '2,"2",2', 3, 4)` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
