[quote=80796:@Richard Gaskin]Tim’s suggestion is a good one. CSV is an ill-conceived, inconsistent mess and must die:

Please help it die: make importers where needed, but never write CSV exporters.
@Simon: many apps just use .tab for the saner tab-delimited format.
BTW: If anyone here wants to contribute a Xojo example of a CSV parser for that page that’s complicated enough to correctly handle the example data shown there I’d be happy to add it.[/quote]
Actually I agree with you, but CSV is here and used a great deal in business so I’m not sure that it can die!
I have slightly changed my csv class and it now supports your example in the blog.
