As an alternative you could use Text::CSV to split the fields. Rob
-----Original Message----- From: Jason Frisvold [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, June 07, 2002 9:36 AM To: Beginners@Perl. Org (E-mail) Subject: DBD::CSV Is anyone here familiar with DBD::CSV? I seem to be hitting a limit (I think) but I'm not sure how to figure it out... I have a CSV file with about 114 columns in it (I'm not generating these myself, it's Steel Belted Radius doing it) and I want to use DBD::CSV to pull the fields I want and place them into a mySQL database. I think I'm hitting a max column limit, but I'm not sure because I can't seem to find it in the docs... I'm afraid to parse it by hand because I'm afraid that if I use a simple split(/,/, $_) that I'll wind up splitting something that shouldn't be split... Anyone have any clue as to if there is a limit with DBD::CSV here? Or am I going to have to spend the time to build the robust parser I need? Thanks, --------------------------- Jason H.
