Nevermind the previous version, I've solved a few bugs in it (like unquoted numbers and correctly handling blank fields).
1. Any string without commas or newlines can be unquoted; no need to restrict it to digits. 2. In a quoted string, "" (that is, two double quotes) stands for one double quote character. That is, the strings "This is a quoted string" K"oln appear in a CSV file as """This is a quoted string""" "K""oln" Also, be sure to support newlines within quoted strings (I think you do already). Many CSV parsers fail to do this, with nasty results. --KW 8-) -- Keith Wansbrough <kw217@cl.cam.ac.uk> http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/users/kw217/ University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory.
