Alex,

I did the same... although I was quick to create a simple regex that 
would parse simple CSV, it would fail for many cases, I trying to 
refine the damn thing using lookaheads, negations and all sorts of 
regex juggling but no good, all I've got as a nice "Revolution app 
force quited" message when the PCRE engine decided to that I was to 
dumb for him and went down in flames.

I think it's easier to use normal string routines in transcript and 
build yourself a parser.... damn....
