Hello NaHi,

Do you have any idea what I may be doing wrong in the code below?

E:\Documents and Settings\tnt\ruby\ex\array>ruby -rcsv -e 'p
CSV.open("text.csv"
, "r", ?\t).collect { |row| row.to_a }'

'row' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Domo Arigato Agimashita I'm trying to say many thanks.  I am guessing
you won't be able to tell because of my almost nonexistent Japanese,
