AAVSO report form problem

[Axel Thomas]

Hi Han,
when reading the AAVSO report file into programs that accept a comma as delimiter problems arise as the notes column also contains commas:
,(Local database V05, aperture=1.7 HFD, annulus=4 HFD)
A solution would be to chose a different delimiter in this column as compared to the delimiter for the columns. e.g. comma as column delimiter and semicolon within column text:
,(Local database V05; aperture=1.7 HFD; annulus=4 HFD)

Thanks for the feedback. Yes I have changed it in the code. If the delimiter is a comma then it will use in the comments the semicolon else the comma.
