Hi, Cameron
I'm glad the code does what you want.

CRLF within a quoted field?
>I was told this was part of the CSV spec?
I've not seen any reference anywhere about CRLF being valid within a quoted
field. My code is based on the assumption that one record = one line, so
will fail to parse the data correctly on records that have an embedded end
of line.

It appears this will now be going into the next release of PHP, so the issue
of whether CRLF in quoted fields is valid needs to be sorted. Perhaps
others on the list can comment?

That would round things off nicely.
