Sheesh... now I have to learn RegEx too?!?

Actually, I made the changes last night to use the OpenCSVCursor. It 
worked REALLY well, and made my code a bit more manageable and readable 
in the process.


But it looks like I really should learn about RegEx soon... I think it 
will help me in the future (much of what I do is assorted text processing 
of records, turning data from one system into a match for another 
system). Time to reread my copy of the first issue of REALbasic 
Developer... it has a couple of nice RegEx articles.
