Fair enough, but like most parsing tasks, dealing with CSV is one of
those deceptively simple-looking jobs that quickly gets too complex
for a straightforward approach; that's why there are modules dedicated
to it in most scripting languages. Python, Tcl, and Ruby all come with
a built-in "csv" module (sadly, Perl's Text::CSV has to be installed
from CPAN), so you might consider calling out to one of them for this
sort of thing.
