It would likely help to attach the .csv file. This could be an encoding problem.

This is what I've done so far after reading in the file:

textData = replace(textData, ".","");

textData = replace(textData, '"','');

textData = replace(textData, ", "," ");

textData = replace(textData, newline, " ");

textData = split(textData,[newline newline]);

It is a carriage return (char(13))

Use regexp() 'split'
