yes, for your own entries typing CSV by hand might be a comfortable solution. the format is pretty simple. but if you want to read "random" content generated by your users (like journalists writing articles) you'd better use a tool that generates valid CSV and read it with a CSV library. you never know where a "," a """, or even a "\" might be hiding... ciao a.l.e
