use chilkat();

# The CSV in this example contains this:   test;"123;abc";xyz

$csv = chilkat::CkCsv->new();

# EnableQuotes is 1 by default, but we'll explicitly set to 1 here:
$csv->put_EnableQuotes(1);
$success = $csv->LoadFile("qa_data/csv/enableQuotes.csv");

# Show row 0, column 0
print $csv->getCell(0,0) . "\r\n";
# Show row 0, column 1
print $csv->getCell(0,1) . "\r\n";
# Show row 0, column 2
print $csv->getCell(0,2) . "\r\n";

# Output is: 
#  test
#  123;abc
#  xyz

# -------------------------------------------
# Turn off EnableQuotes and see what happens:

$csv2 = chilkat::CkCsv->new();
$csv2->put_EnableQuotes(0);

$success = $csv2->LoadFile("qa_data/csv/enableQuotes.csv");

print $csv2->getCell(0,0) . "\r\n";
print $csv2->getCell(0,1) . "\r\n";
print $csv2->getCell(0,2) . "\r\n";
print $csv2->getCell(0,3) . "\r\n";

# Output is:

#  test
#  "123
#  abc"
#  xyz
