Wink Can you count comma's?

Quotes inside quoted field - yech.
Can you count comma's then, using similar logic to my 3rd option? Or, are there comma's inside the quotes also? That is quite possible.

Perhaps try the first or second options?
The 2nd will show how many lines begin with a " character - in theory, your continued lines would not begin with a quote character.

Beyond the counting... good luck trying to decipher the file!
