IMO this is the *only* reasonable behaviour. I don't understand why the escape character should be left in; this is one of the reason why UNIX-style colon-separated values don't work with the current module. If one wanted the first version, one would (I presume) write field one,field \\\ two,field three -- Magnus Lie Hetland Fallen flower I see / Returning to its branch http://hetland.org Ah! a butterfly.
