Oliver - thanks !
Hmmmmm.... so there is no way to specify (borrowing syntax from other
DBs) something like - "DELIMITED BY ',' ENCLOSED BY ' " ' ?

yes, no way :-)

if you want to discover the possibilities of the CLI type .h (after having started with sqlite3)

        Simon - thanks - but this used to work on 3.7.7.1 (I believe was
        the last
        version I downloaded and unfortunately replaced with the latest...)



    afaik this never worked with the original CLI (might be that you
    have used a fork that can do this)

    I see 3 solutions:

    if you can influence the delimiter take a reliable delimiter (a
    string you're not using in your file - maybe a |)  and export
    without " as markers for text columns

    if cant't influence the look of the source find and don't mind to do
    it manually you can import into a spreadsheet program and use a
    reliable delimiter without using "

    if you like scripting you can create a little program with your
    favorite language

    greetings

        How, then, do you import character columns that contain commas (like
        addresses) from a .csv which uses commas as a delimiter?

        Thanks !

            Sorry, but the shell tool doesn't understand quotes in csv
            files.
