Hello, Has anyone experienced and/or solved this problem on a Linux / Apache / MySQL system? I'm trying to call mysqlimport remotely over CGI using perl's system command, to upload and import csv files. Basically everything works except for setting the '--fields-optionally-enclosed-by' argument, which I want to set to " (doublequote), as Excel puts them round any field containing a comma. The full command is: mysqlimport --verbose --fields-terminated-by=, --fields-optionally-enclosed-by='"' mydb myfilename It just gives up after the first row with a comma in it, after trying to put the whole of the remainder of the csv file into the one field. Any ideas? Thanks in advance, Vyv Hope-Scott 377a St Margarets Rd Twickenham TW1 1PP h 020 8744 2488 m 07768 660 247
