COMMA_TO_CRLF2 Function

Syntax

Arguments

CR-LF_List

A list of items, each separated by CR-LF codes.

Source

A comma-delimited list. Commas within double-quoted substrings are treated as literal characters and do not create new list items.

Description

Converts a comma-delimited list to a CR-LF-delimited list, ignoring commas that occur inside double-quoted substrings.

Discussion

The COMMA_TO_CRLF2() function behaves like COMMA_TO_CRLF() but honors quoted text: commas that appear inside double quotes are preserved and do not act as separators.

Example

' Example: quoted commas are preserved
dim txt as c
txt = "a,""alpha,beta"",c"

? comma_to_crlf2(txt)
= a
alpha,beta
c
