Actually, I think that's exactly the problem. "a,b,,," has 4 items. The trailing , is ignored. "a,b,,,e" has 5 items. putting a space, or some type of invisible char after the trailing , makes it 5 items. It drives me nuts, if the comma is there it should designate a null item whether its in the middle or at the end.
