Hi David
I'm trying to parse a file in a sort of CSV format and having problems (see beginning of file below):
#!/usr/bin/perl
print"Content-type: text/html\n\n<html></html>";

As it's not ascii, can you suggest how I might be able to deal with it?
Many thanks for a great product and totally first class support!

Guess what? It's working like a charm! Thanks so much.
I've Tweeted about how good this script is btw. Hopefully it'll bring you some business.
Cheers

Hi Jim
The separator appears to be extended ASCII character code 161 (hex A1). In addition; you can make use of the skip parameter to ignore the first 3 lines. So to parse this data, have a go using the Format String:
csv|161|0|0|3Hope this helps!
Cheers,
David.
