CSV upload script mixing up columns

[eruna]

I wrote a script that uploads a CSV and appends a database. It is posted below for reference.

PROBLEM
When I uploaded a CSV last night, One of the rows was jumbled. One of the columns in the row was broken in the middle the other half was put into a different column. Strangely, not the next one in sequence but one that seemed random.

None of the other rows were affected. My assumption was that there was a character in the field that was interpreted as a delimiter
, but I couldn't anything when I opened it in a text editor.

Any Ideas?

Thanks

I don't think the problem it in the script, I think you were correct that the problem is in the CSV.

Look more carefully at the CSV, look also at the line(s) preceeding where the apparent error occurred.

Use an editor capable of handling hex files to preclude the possibility that a text editor masks what might cause the script error.

Thanks, Ill have to make sure the text editor I'm using can handle hex files.

I was hoping to be able to identify the problem and validate/self correct.

[vernon-oliver]

I don't think that is a likely problem, but there is a possibility there is something in what looks like a text file that gets munged by a common "text" editor, or that throws the csv importer out of whack.

It was edited in and exported from Excel.
