1- the csv file was generated with Excel 2007; no prompts for what the
separator should be; Excel has used ";" by default, without asking
anything
I find this difficult to believe,
Mark, there exist parallel universes the denizens of which use strange
notation e.g. 1.234,56 instead of 1,234.56 and would you believe they
use ';' instead of ',' as a list separator ... Excel perfidiously
gives them what they expect rather than forcing them to comply with
The One True Way.
I suggest a new file type csvewtlsinac i.e. comma seperated value except
when the list seperator is not a comma.:) Does this cover everything?
p.s. is it "separator" or "seperator", after 50+ years I still can't
remember?
