[JS] This is just a shot in the dark, but Excel can be rather surprising when it puts out a CSV file. Depending upon the data, and exactly how you've specified the export, it can put double-quotes in unexpected places.

If you leave out the 17th line of data what happens?

Thanks Jerry, Gavin and John:

Sorry for not an immediate response to all of your suggestions. Other demands were pulling at me since I first asked for assistance.


I opened the .csv file with Text Wrangler, and the commas are missing at about line 17

So not sure why that is happening. I'm on a Mac, using Excel 2008. But at least you all have helped me find what it is doing, so now, I can at least pull into a txt file and make corrections manually.

My thanks to all of you for your help and patience.

(above represents an empty portfolio_ID, a filled in sort_ID, title, empty bodycopy, image, empty before)

Thank you.
