I suspect you may have trailing spaces at the ends of your lines. The .import command isn't very smart about things like that. Your separator is set to one space, not arbitrary whitespace. It there is another separator after the last field it assumes there is another field there (which might be an empty string) as well.
Dennis, That's it. I saw the trailing space but assigned no significance to it. And that's why I wondered about the EOL. I tried to find documentation on the .import command (and the other metacommands), but couldn't. Nothing about them in Mike Owens' book, the man page, or a Google search. This must be one of the pieces of knowlege that's passed from generation to generation only when someone asks. Many thanks! Rich -- Richard B.
