by @ Thursday, October 20th, 2005. Filed under tech

Ever want to parse a CSV file with perl? If you have used perl, the answer is probably yes. What happens if the delimiter you use, say the comma, is also used in one of the fields but the field is quoted so the comma shouldn’t be visible when you parse the string by comma… […]
