Exclamation Record count of a csv file

Hello Gurus,

We have a requirement to count the valid number of records in a comma delimited file with double quotes.
The catch here is..few records have a new line carriage within the double quotes,,say for ex:we have a file called accounts the record count is 4827..but the actual valid count is 4823..1 header row and 1 field in a record has 3 lines of data.
So i'm having a tough time to count the exact count..we need to compare this count to the table count where we are loading this file to.
Please suggest..

Thanks
AJ
