CSV decoding through perl

[tspatil]

I am decoding the csv file with the split command but my problem is I am having some field which are in double quotes and the values inside that are having comma, which is resulting the single field is getting divided into two.

Please can some one help me

The easiest thing would be to use the Text::CSV or better still Text::CSV_XS modules as they know how to handle the data thats in the double-quotes. They might have to be installed though because they are not core modules, even though they should be IMHO.

CPAN is where you can find the modules that Kevin listed. Read the documentation and look through the examples given. Then give them a try and if you still have problems, post the code that you have tried and we will try to help. Please don't just copy and paste the sample code and expect results. The documentations is the key.

It is all up to you now.
