So which package should I use to parse CSV data?

<br/>> Hi Joseph,
<br/>> these methods are now in the package located at:
<br/>> MCHttpRepository
<br/>> location: '<a href="http://www.squeaksource.com/CSVData'" target="_top" rel="nofollow" link="external">http://www.squeaksource.com/CSVData'</a><br/>> user: ''
<br/>> password: ''
<br/>> (follow Ron's excellent advice on how to use this).
<br/>>
<br/>> That said, I would no longer use this package to parse CSV - I've recently switched over to Avi's parser as well.
<br/>> (My package still has some interesting uses for the data once you pull it in. Of course, it isn't documented.)
<br/>>
<br/>> I should clean up the page that you found - I had forgotten that it even existed!

<br/>> Greetings,
<br/>>
<br/>> I am needing conceptual help with parsing these troublesome CSV files. I was breaking the lines using String >> findToken:
<br/>> but I found lines where extra deliminators were added. Notice the three following lines, the first and third line have extra commas from Oak Brook, IL and the second line does not have the comma.

<br/>> I think I need to parse with the double quotes in mind, but I don’t know where to break it.
<br/>>
<br/>> Also, I was reading in the squeak pages that someone had already written code for this, but I couldn’t find anything.

<br/>> Does anyone know where these are now?
