Subject: Odd CSV behavior

Hello All,

I'm hoping someone out there can help me troubleshoot a strange problem
that I'm experiencing with CSV files.

I download a file, in CSV format, from a website and when I try to parse
with CSV and Faster CSV I get the following error.

/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/csv.rb:639:in `get_row': CSV::IllegalFormatError
(CSV::IllegalFormatError)
  from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/csv.rb:556:in `each'
  from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/csv.rb:531:in `parse'
  from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/csv.rb:311:in `open_reader'
  from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/csv.rb:85:in `open'

But if I open the  CSV file in TextMate, select all of the contents,
paste and save that content into a new CSV file, created with TextMate,
the CSV parser can process it just fine.

Anyone have any idea about what might be causing this?

Thanks,

binh
