Well, I've tried both the ParseWords method and the CSV_XS method to no avail. Below is my CSV_XS script, along with a snippet from the csv file. If you run this through the script, it fails at the second line, where the umlaut is located. It's all very strange.
--- Begin Script --- #!/usr/bin/perl use IO::File; use Text::CSV_XS; $csv = Text::CSV_XS->new(); no warnings; $fullpathfile = "testfile.csv"; $io = new IO::File "< $fullpathfile"; if (not defined $io) { die "can't open $fullpathfile"; } while ($columns = $csv->getline($io)) { $csv->combine(@$columns); print $csv->string, "\n";"$columns\n"; } close($io); exit 0; --- End Script --- --- Begin CSV File --- 10.10.10.0/24,DE,DE-Ravensburg,"Ravensburg EY, Germany" 10.10.10.0/24,DE,DE-Saarbruecken,"Saarbrüecken EY, Germany" 10.10.10.0/24,DE,DE-Singen,"Singen EY, Germany" --- End CSV File ---- -----Original Message----- From: Lynn.

I can't even remember why, but to overcome a particular problem I had with some particular data at some time, I did $line = qq{$line}; ..which kept whatever funny stuff was in there.... No help there unless you care to share a little test data? -Lynn. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Behalf Of Andy > Ryan > Sent: Tuesday, November 25, 2003 3:04 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [Perl-unix-users] ParseWords and umlaut > > > Hi folks, > > I'm using the ParseWords perl module to parse through a csv file.
