Hmmm... getting a bit complicated now. I think George's suggestion to
DCOUNT the header line and concat if the number of columns are less
might be simpler.
I really appreciate all the ideas, though. They give me something to
think about.

You have to read the file as a stream, literally byte-by-byte, and recognize
when you are processing quotes and handle that with different logic.

What Symeon suggests should still work, since the break is inside the quotes
(assuming your using Quoted csv and not tabs), so if you go byte by byte, if
you encounter a cr that is inside quotes Escape it and keep reading, if you
encounter a cr that is between quotes, consider that the end of the row.

The problem occurs before it ever gets to UV (or in my case jBASE). The csv
flat file already has the cell split into 2 lines.

It is entitrely possible and ok to have new lines inside a cell in
excel and inside a cell in a csv The following
"col1",2,"col3 and
New line",col4
Is ok because the new line is inside the quotes of col3
The trick when parsing in u2 is to not do it line by line, but byte by
byte
