"into an array" .... in what way ? presumably a numerically indexed
array.
Perhaps a more general feature requests would be to extend the 'split'
command, so that it would parse by Primary and Secondary delimiters into
numerically indexed arrays ? (using a new optional keyword "completely"
... :-)
e.g. split completely myVar by CR and TAB
would take a variable (such as the output from csvtotext) containing
John <TAB> smith
betty <TAB> boop
into
myVar[1][1] = John
myVar[1][2] = smith
myVar[2][1] = betty
myVar[2][2] = boop
then we could simply do
put csvToText(myCSVFileContent) into myText
split completely myText by CR and TAB
Of course, that can be done in a simple (untested) script
put 0 into lCount
repeat for each line L in myText
add 1 to lCount
put 0 into iCount
repeat for each item I in L
add 1 to iCount
put I into myArray[lCount][iCount]
end repeat
end repeat
but having it done as part of the split command would be much faster
(and would just feel right to me :-)

As far as I know, the latest/greatest code for converting csv to text is
now on my git repository:

This is great!
Can I make a feature request to parse CSV data into an array?
