Of course. You can find it best in Richard's excellent article about the evils of CSV format, at

http://www.fourthworld.com/embassy/articles//csv/-/must/-/die/.html

It does deal with many of the vagaries, but won't do anything about records with different number of fields (I think that was what you mentioned earlier in the email thread), though it will (AFAIR) deal with embedded CRs if they are within a quoted string.

BTW - there is the opportunity for a slightly faster method which avoids the array step - but the difference would only be significant for VERY large data sets, so I've not had the incentive to finalize and test it thoroughly.
