So you want to write your own CSV code (2014)

I have a similar story: parsing a CSV file that had an unexpected 0x1A byte in the middle. Turns out the file was concatenated together in multiple passes from multiple files using the COPY DOS command, which by default adds ASCII SUB to the end as an EOF marker: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substitute_character

I have done this to myself in the past. Those were....dark days.

The sad thing is that this happened last year.

You don't say, someone sent a CSV like that to me yesterday...
