| (...) 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)

| | | | | 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

Fields are comma separated, and optionally surrounded by (...) (24 years ago, 23-Sep-00, to lugnet.admin.database, lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.publish)

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)
| | | | | Re: CSV delimiters

| (...) I hate it too. IIRC, Excel uses "" instead of \" for an escaped " -- but I could be wrong. I just remember hating it once when I looked at it. :) One nice thing, though, is that Excel can import tab-delimited text, so that's it's saving grace. (...)

Sounds like you're working on the question I asked...augh, and I just entered all the sets manually. Oh well, (...)

| | | | | CSV delimiters
|
| 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 (...)

| (...) Wow! So, ok. You were *really* bored :) Cool anyhow but I'm not sure if it's that practical since you need Internet access anyhow and then a launch of a webbrowser is easier then to find ICQ and the user BrickInfo. I love the idea though, it (...) (24 years ago, 22-Sep-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

| | | | | Modelling boolean gates with trains
|
| Okay, this might be totally impossible (or insane or banal), but has anyone modelled boolean functions on a train layout (System or Duplo)? At the moment I'm thinking "train on the line"=1, "not on the line"=0. NOT could be done by reversing the (...)
