The code below opens a file in readonly mode. Each line is chopped up and stuffed into an array and pushed top a list. (multi dementional array).
The problem I'm having is stripping out the quotes from the data. I can get it take the first and last quotes off but I can't reach any in the middle.
Does anyone know of an elegant was to do this? I could loop through the array and strip it one by one but I would like to processes it as it comes in.
If it matters at all later I will be formating the values (int, int, date).
I used to code in ANSI C years and years ago but, wow, have I lost the touch.
cheers
