Another case to be wary of is if you have double quotes in your text. They 
are encoded in the CSV as 2 double quotes. 

So for example:

name                 story
George              He said, "Hello!"
Jeff                    I agree with George

Would be encoded as:
"name","story"
"George","He said, ""Hello!"""
"Jeff","I agree with George"

In this scenario, Christopher's grep works, but Ronald's fails. CSV can be 
surprisingly difficult to work with since it overuses the comma and 
double-quote. Be careful when converting large files that whatever you try 
works in the odd cases. Also, consider whether newlines might be included 
with quotes. I have to move on to other work, so can't help further right 
now, but thought I should give you the warning to be careful.
