|

Is there any "official" or "reasonably standardized format" for CSV (_C_omma _S_eparated _V_alue) data? I guess it's pretty obvious, mostly, but how are the delimiter characters typically encoded (specifically: comma, double-quote, and newline)? In (...)

(...) Hmm, yes, that's right. Fixed. Originally, it was announced (with set number) back in 1999, and I think that's when it was added to the DB, and I guess LEGO decided to delay it, or else we misunderstood the intended release date. --Todd (24 years ago, 20-Sep-00, to lugnet.admin.database)

Hi, The guide shows the release date for 9731 Vision Command as 1999. Isn't that a 2000 set? Regards, Hakan (24 years ago, 20-Sep-00, to lugnet.admin.database)
