it's not so easy, for example the following csv file:
"a;b";c
has only two columns, you cannot handle this case with a simple
g_strsplit call
And for extra fun, I've recently had to handle a CSV format where the
first line was:
CSV version 2,.,*,",
when generated in the UK and:
CSV version 2;,;*;";
when generated by our Italian customer. And yes, that does mean that the
Italian version used ; as the separator and , for the decimal place,
rather than , for the separator and . for the decimal. It also means
that both versions use " for quoting, and a line beginning with * is a
comment. The tool reading this file is expected to deduce the correct
format from that first line.
