Yep. Several others have privately pointed that out to me, also. :)
I did leave myself an out, fortunately, with the statement about
"embedded separators" making it harder. I hadn't realized that there
was a convention about using quotes to mask embedded separators,
and was worried about handling other ways, such as:
S&P 500 INDEX\,RTH,^GSPC,1166.36,0.00
The 2nd version I posted earlier today handles quoted fields correctly,
including nested fields [he claims...], such as:
"this,""has,nested"",fields"
but had one typo. The line:
sep := zapPrefix(!args, "--separator=")
should be:
sep := zapPrefix(!args, "--separator=") | ","
Without that fix you have to give the "--separator=,"
option to get comma-separated-value parsing.
