CSV - Comma Separated Values.
Here are a few routines to nicely handle what you may be looking for.
Can handle properly formatted files without a hitch.
Can handle CSV files with and without quote qualifiers.
Can handle mixture of with and without the quotes.
The zip contains sample data and sample program.
The sample program can be removed and made the function renamed into
a .e include file. Includes the raw source that I wrote and
processed using version 2.11 of my macro preprocessor.
usage:
line = gets(file) --get a line from the file.
fields = CSV(line) --parses the line into separate fields.
You can then convert any sequence of numbers "1234" into an
atom by including and using value().
