  Re: Writing A Proposal
 
(...) I intend to set up something so that scanning a Lego UPC automatically enters it in LUGnet as part of my collection. I'd highly recommend against using the software that comes with the :CueCat. Each device has a unique ID, and every time you (...) (24 years ago, 24-Sep-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Writing A Proposal
 
(...) I got two of these, one from Wired, and one from Forbes. (1) Have people been putting these to any use at all? I could see using them to scan UPC codes maybe... I would rather they built this function into a giveaway mouse instead of YAGTCUMW (...) (24 years ago, 24-Sep-00, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  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 (...)

  Office 2000 Help
 
Hey - I've poked around the web enough, and also asked a few people with no success, so I thought I'd dip in the brain pool here. Two questions about Office 2000 - 1) Is there any way to restore the start menus to the way they were before O2K was (...) (24 years ago, 23-Sep-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  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)
