Thanks Rob - just exactly what I needed.

I was stuck on the model of Excel (or other CSV) files, where the "," is a 
delimiter - but there is a field after the trailing comma (even if that 
field is empty) - the analogy to lines helps tremendously.

Now I can think about items and they match Rev's items :-)
