I take you're point and those other well made points about line continuations below -- but you're over egging it here as

cut -d, -f1 2010.csv | grep ILLINOIS

works just fine for this data. I emphasise again - I take your overall point though.

Yeah, I'm more sensitive to this class of errors now that I live in DC since the "Washington, District of Columbia" format is common enough to show up sporadically.
