  Re: McDonalds 1999 promo sets in set reference ?
 
(...) Neat-o! Anyone know how "official" those numbers are? Can anyone confirm them or 'splain what part of the coding contained them? Anyone know what #8 says? It's encouraging that none of the numbers shown above have been used before for sets (to (...) (24 years ago, 26-Sep-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.admin.database, lugnet.promo)
 
  Re: CSV delimiters
 
(...) Dang. THAT is a very important piece of info -- thanks! OK... Are there any popular programs out there (on the level of Excel, etc.) which only handle CSV text and don't handle tab-delimited text data? --Todd (24 years ago, 23-Sep-00, to lugnet.admin.database, lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.publish)

Todd Lehman skrev i meddelandet ... (...) I see in the thread that you've got most of the answers you need, but there is at least one complication in the Windows world (if you ever get files from that): The MS programs (and many others too, as (...)

  Re: CSV delimiters
 
(...) Aha! Excellent. Those docs sound well thought out. Hmm, that reminds me... Duh, this is prolly a common Perl thing. I bet Freidl[1] as some stuff on CSV? Lessee... <dig dig dig> Ahh, here we go: pp. 204-208, 227, 231, 290. And (haha!) it even (...) (24 years ago, 23-Sep-00, to lugnet.admin.database, lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.publish)

Maybe this will also be helpful. It's not exactly a standard, but it is IEEE. :) (URL) (24 years ago, 23-Sep-00, to lugnet.admin.database, lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.publish)
 
  Re: CSV delimiters
 
There exists (in CPAN) a Text-CSV perl module. From its documentation: This module is based upon a working definition of CSV format which may not be the most general. 1 Allowable characters within a CSV field include 0x09 (tab) and the inclusive (...)

  Re: CSV delimiters
 
(...) I remember looking for this about a year ago, and I came across something that looked very standardish. If I remember right, it's really silly. You don't actually escape things. Fields are comma separated, and optionally surrounded by (...) (24 years ago, 23-Sep-00, to lugnet.admin.database, lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.publish)
 
  Re: CSV delimiters
 
(...) I think there are a variety of CSV-to-HTML-table converters floating around that you can download -- I saw at least 3 earlier while searching before posting. You'd probably want to look for one that somehow auto-sensed whether quotes were (...) (24 years ago, 23-Sep-00, to lugnet.admin.database, lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.publish)
 
  RE: CSV delimiters
 
(...) I agree. I was trying to hack an Excel file into some usable html, and those "" made it nearly impossible for me to do search and replaces to get valid html without messing it up in other places. --Bram Bram Lambrecht BXL34@po.cwru.edu (URL) (24 years ago, 23-Sep-00, to lugnet.admin.database, lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.publish)
 
  Re: CSV delimiters
 
(...) Eeek -- shame on me -- did I just say "it's" when I meant "its"? Anyway, I forgot to say: The idea of escaping quotes is *bizarre* in the first place. IMHO, there shouldn't *be* any closing double-quote character on a field once it has already (...) (24 years ago, 23-Sep-00, to lugnet.admin.database, lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.publish)
