Hi!
I'd like to parse a CVS file, which can contain whitespaces between
fields, but it seems, that the csv.rb in ruby 1.8.2 doesn't support
this. What can I do?
thx in advance
Gergo

Just in case someone stumbles across this in the Google archive, here
is the deal:
If the field is surrounded by quotation marks, any spaces outside
those quotation marks would be considered malformed.
If the field is not surrounded by quotation marks, then the space is
considered part of the field's content. If you don't want it, look at
String#strip and its cousins.
