    Just so anybody less technically saavy sees this (I know, I know, this is lemmy), this won’t break shit.

    If this worked, CSV would have been dumped ages ago. The standard supports column value commas when the delimieter is set to a comma by… You won’t believe this… Putting the column value inside of double quotes. And any modern scripting/programming language can handle this with builtin libraries, including Bash.

    And honestly, I’ve always wondered why it’s called CSV when the standard is actually Delimieter Seaparted Values.
