I believe in Excel that you save it as text (tab-delimited)

How do you do tab-delimited? What is the hex to insert? As in:



D Tab c '????'

C eval record = City + Tab + State + Tab + zip

But would that work for data that has commas and other punctuation (and
in one column, what appear to be CRLFs) in it?



Consider using tab-delimited files instead of CSV. There's no drawbacks
that I know of to using tab-delimited, and it solves all of the CSV
problems.

Not sure why so many people recommend CSV, it has always had problems
with commas and quotes -- tab delimited never has had these problems.
