I'm looking for tutorials or other infos on how to parse a csv file into a list of lists in AppleScript.


CSV is evil, and AppleScript is teh suck for text manipulation. Your best options would be:

- Use another language that already provides solid, mature CSV parsing libraries, e.g. Perl, Python, Ruby.

- Use a scriptable application that knows how to read CSV files, e.g. Excel.
