How to extract specific columns/line items from a CSV file?

Extracting data grid get column data

Hi folks, Is there a direct way of extracting the data from 'cells' within a specific data grid column or is the most efficient (only?) way to iterate through via the rows, extracting array[rowNumber]["column"]["data"] each time? Best, Keith.. ___ use-

Re: How to preserving XML tag string formats in variables?

Thanks for flagging this up but I have no problem with linefeeds - and the client platform is a red herring when dealing with standards-based XML. But I did a bit of digging - just to ensure that this won't bite me later... LiveCode's 'return' (or 'cr' for short) provides the correct 'linefeed'
