CSV is a good format, but beware the many ways to shoot yourself in the foot. I recommend using my program "csvtool" (in Fedora/Debian) which can fully and safely parse CSV output from shell scripts, or use a library (eg. Text::CSV for Perl, or csv for Python). More about this subject here:
Is the correct workaround here being able to specify the field and record delimiters? To (for example) use "|" or "\t" instead of ",". Regards and best wishes, Justin Clift -- Salasaga - Open Source eLearning IDE http://www.salasaga.org
