Hello, you seem to be the first one (beside me and Taco) to complain about that bug, so perhaps Hans will have one reason more to try to fix it now (or perhaps to port it to lua, but then you'll have to wait for some time). My observations are (were - I'm currently not behind a ConTeXt machine) as follows: - 8-bit encodings seem to work OK (I had to convert a few files to cp1250 just because of that bug, but then it worked OK) - there are two completely different approaches - one imitates pere csv (Taco's) and one parses anything "TeX-ish" and also obeys TeX commands (Hans's). - Taco's approach has been fixed (utf-8 worked ok after a patch), so if you don't need TeX commands inside your tables, set "quotechar" to whatever, which will trigger Taco's mode - Hans's approach has a bug in utf-8 handling. But the problem only appears if the very first character in the cell is something non-ascii So in the case of březen duben květen červen it's probably only the last word the one which is causing problems A temporary solution might be to define quotechar (which is probably what you have already tried) or to wait for Hans to fix it. I find the module really useful, but I don't understand a bit in that file (even Taco addmited that it was the "worst-readable" macro he has ever wrote ;) I assume that you've seen the MyWay about it (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/My_Way) - feel free to post any comments about its unreadability ;).

Good evening.

I apologize that I bother you now so much with my own problems but I have to rewrite some of my macros right now for some reason.

I found there is a great `database' module. I tried it with ConTeXt version 2007.01.12 15:56, perl TeXExec 5.4.3, and pdfetex 1.40.1 under SuSE Linux 10.1. I use input encoding regime utf8, and fonts in ec-lm encoding. I set it this way: \defineseparatedlist[CSV] [separator=tab,%{,}, %quotechar={"}, before=\bTABLE, after=\eTABLE, first=\bTR, last=\eTR, left=\bTD, right=\eTD] And call it with \processseparatedfile[CSV][file.csv].

It works well with words without accents. If there is an accented letter in the file.csv, it failes with this error message: ! Argument of \utftwouniglph has an extra }. <inserted text> \par <to be read again> } \dodoprocessseplist #1#2 ->\edef \!!stringa {#1} \ifx \edef@relax \!!stringa ... <argument> PŘÍJMY leden únor březen duben květen červen červenec srpe...

\doprocessseplist ...elax ->\dodoprocessseplist #1 \relax \relax \relax \end \doprocessseparatedfileline ...plist \line \relax \else \expanded {\processq... ...

Can you help me to make it work?

Many thanks. Yours Michal Kvasnicka
