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

Dim csv As New Chilkat.Csv

' EnableQuotes is True by default, but we'll explicitly set to True here:
csv.EnableQuotes = True
Dim success As Boolean = csv.LoadFile("qa_data/csv/enableQuotes.csv")

' Show row 0, column 0
Debug.WriteLine(csv.GetCell(0,0))
' Show row 0, column 1
Debug.WriteLine(csv.GetCell(0,1))
' Show row 0, column 2
Debug.WriteLine(csv.GetCell(0,2))

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

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

Dim csv2 As New Chilkat.Csv
csv2.EnableQuotes = False

success = csv2.LoadFile("qa_data/csv/enableQuotes.csv")

Debug.WriteLine(csv2.GetCell(0,0))
Debug.WriteLine(csv2.GetCell(0,1))
Debug.WriteLine(csv2.GetCell(0,2))
Debug.WriteLine(csv2.GetCell(0,3))

' Output is:

'  test
'  "123
'  abc"
'  xyz
