I agree, Stephen. I have lots of situations of column data that contains a comma, such as descriptions of items or full names that might contain a comma (like Smith, Jr). RBase behaves nicely in that it always encloses text fields with quotations on export. Now, Excel doesn't behave as nicely if you try to export from it. But I've never had anything complain importing from RBase because it puts the quotation marks.

You should employ a conversion to something handy, like the # symbol or such before storing as it's not much of a trick to wind and unwind it in runtime On Wednesday, December 21, 2016 at 10:00:01 AM UTC-5, A.
