there an AOLserver or straight Tcl module I should be using to parse

split on ยก with 'split'?
Tcl lib has a CSV parser: http://tcllib.sourceforge.net/doc/csv.html.
But if the text doesn't contain that character elsewhere and no
quoting for values is used, split might work just fine. I was dealing
with something exported out of Excel, so if a value contained commas,
it would wrap the thing in quotes. Hence a complete CSV implementation
was easiest.
To make absolutely, 100% sure you have the correct character to
separate on, you could edit the file to just contain that one and read
it in.
