In "CSV" the "C" stands for "comma" ("comma-separated values").  "C" 
stands for "concurrent" in "CVS".

You and I both currently use a method that walks through the data 
character by character, but the method I'm looking for uses the split 
command in a novel way with a ten-fold speed improvement.

Earlier versions of that algorithm failed in testing some files here, 
but fortunately I was able to find the post that addresses the fix, by 
Alex Tweedly:

Thanks for that, Alex. I'll run the fix through some tests and see if it 
works well here....
