I have to deal with csv files from several different external sources where csv is the only option and I have no control over the options used to create them.

I've run into most of the problems mentioned in this thread but they didn't seem that hard to solve. I use the "inquotes" flag method mentioned earlier in this thread and go through character by character to parse the data into separate fields. I'll admit that the files I have to deal with are not huge so I don't have to worry about performance issues but so far I haven;t run into any problems with that approach (let's hope it stays that way!)

Nevertheless, I'd be happy to drink a few beers at the funeral!!
