Hi Tim, I am not worried about the delimiter. I am worried about the "line seperator". We are in the process of writing a multi platform application. So we need to be able to accept CSVs generated with Windows/Linux type Line endings. While parsing the parser can identify that information, but it does expose it somewhere. We want to know if there is a way to get that information out ?
