Found this on google:

I'm sure this will get me somewhere.  However, its the double quote gig that
has me in a quandry.  By the csv standard (if its even a
standard), numeric values will not be surrounded by quotes; text will be
surrounded in quotes and should a quote exist in the text, it will contain
two quotes.  and then we have the possibility of embedded
commas... ugh.  ie:

"text string", 1234, "with ""embedded"" quotes", "with emb, comma"

I also found some more information on how to handle newlines (that they need
to have quotes around them), but that doesn't work in OpenOffice.  I suspect
that best thing to do is simply to strip out newlines from textarea elements
before going into the db.

Is more dbf functionality in CVS?  I don't have any dbf functions in 1.4beta3

Thanks, keep up the good work.
