Yes indeed, and I use it quite a bit. Unfortunately, it doesn't
help me much when there are commas in the middle of the field.
Unless, of course, there is a way to use SPLIT to read the line into
an array, without those pesky commas in the middle of the field
screwing the fields up.
The only thing I have found so far is one guy said if you set a
type up then input them all in the same line (ie input #1,a$,b$,C$)
and delimit them without commas (ie "field 1""field2""field3") that
it would ignore all the commas that way, but haven't tried that yet,
and I don't think it's correct, judging from his example that was
posted. I could erase the commas in an incoming files I guess (if
there's quotes on either side of the comma then delete it), but I
would like to get around that if possible.
