this will probably be because CF ignores empty list elements. there might be some kind of a split function on cflib.org
-----Original Message----- From: Victor Moore [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 04 April 2005 15:14 To: CF-Talk Subject: CSV file and com.Ostermiller.util.ExcelCSVParser I am using com.Ostermiller.util.ExcelCSVParser with great succes to parse csv files. There is only one small problem that I can't figure out.If there are any empty columns in the file they are not picked up and as a result the parsing process is failing. The work around is to open the file in excel and run a replace all (for empty string with a space). Unfortunately this is used by end users and for some reason they don't do it ... Is any way to do it programmatically?
