Subject: Help with FasterCSV monkey patch

Hello, I've been trying to monkey patch FCSV to allow escaped colsep
characters within a field:

FCSV.parse "here\\, it is, other fields"  #need:  [["here\\, it is",
"other fields"]]
                 ^

So what I tried was modifying the :csv_row regexp on the init_parsers
method


1797:           ([^#{esc_quote}#{esc_col_sep}]*)   # unquoted fields


which I changed with this:

1797:           ((?>[^#{esc_quote}#{esc_col_sep}]*
1798:           \\#{esc_col_sep}
1799:           [^#{esc_quote}#{esc_col_sep}]*)*)   # unquoted fields

This didn't work though :(, though my gut tells me I'm close ;)

Thanks in advance for any help with this :)
