string
The string to parse.
separator
Set the field delimiter (one character only).
enclosure
Set the field enclosure character (one character only).
escape
Set the escape character (at most one character). Defaults as a backslash
(\)
An empty string ("") disables the proprietary escape mechanism.
Note: Usually an
enclosurecharacter is escaped inside a field by doubling it; however, theescapecharacter can be used as an alternative. So for the default parameter values""and\"have the same meaning. Other than allowing to escape theenclosurecharacter theescapecharacter has no special meaning; it isn't even meant to escape itself.
Returns an indexed array containing the fields read.
