Quoting from [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s message (16-Aug-00 15:11:39).

CSV ("comma" separated variable) coming from excel, by any chance? What if the quoted
variable has a quote *inside*? Does the line look like this?
2;""15" long blade"";"L";20.15;9999456
If that's the case, all the solutions presented until now will break your code. I saw
a good parsing function for this problem, but I'll let the author put it out. (-; (I
negotiated the problem by brutal ad-hoc substitutions, which wouldn't work in the
general case)
On the other hand, if you're *absolutely sure* no quote is part of the actual data, go
ahead with any of the aforementioned solutions. :-)
