Re: lightweight CSV parser

Most of the Text:CSV type modules read from files, so I was unable to make them work with a string variable.

check the documentation again, because they all work with strings as well, anyway

open my($fh), '<' , \$stringOfCsv;

That appears to be a filehandle reference, not a regular string. I actually tried initially to use YAML strings, and with YAML::Syck was able to get a prototype working by opening a string reference as a filehandle, then loaded with YAML::Syck::LoadFile($fh) . That was the only YAML parser that worked like that, and when I tried the same thing within Movable Type, it wouldn't read the filehandle. "No such file or directory -type errors. So I gave up. It looked simple, but I'm missing some key concept. Maybe parsing CSV is easier. I'll give it a try.	[reply]
