Perl script to read comma seperated file. Hi, I do know how to read the comma seperated file using the following script while ($lines = <INFH>){ if ($lines =~ /^\s*$/){ last; } @flds = split(/,/, $lines); ($year, $paperName, $authors, $conf, $fileName, $abstract) = @flds; print "$year $paperName, $fileName\n\n"; } However I am facing one tiny problem.. My CSV file has data like this: 2003, Distibuted Multimedia Document Management Systems, "A. Khokhar, and A. Ghafoor, ", IEEE... , Thus i want to read author's as a single field.. thus $authors should be "A. Khokhar, and A. Ghafoor," Any ideas on how to modify this script will be appreciated.
