problem with eof...

[Lord Orwell]

to prevent commas from screwing your logic up, place all your data in quotes when you save it to the file.
print #1, chr(34) + data + chr(34)
the quotes won't show up when you read the data. Note that this only works with string data.

I think the Write statement prints with quotes, but I could be wrong.

I mainly only do binary reading, and if not, it's usually Line Input or reading the entire file at once.

possibly. I've never used it. I had this issue with a custom database that had to fit on a floppy disk. I put it in csv format and it was causing issue with the description of some of the vehicles in it. I had originally just stripped out all the commas but as i was transferring jobs i had to future-proof it against new users who might add a new one. If i'm not mistaken (and i may be) there's another format where the columns are separated by tabs and it doesn't have this issue at all.
