How to validate a CSV file?

Hi.
I think some people have already asked this, but the answers/questions seem to be about validating the contents inside a CSV file.

I am simply after a simple variable solution (ie 0 = false, 1 = true) that I can use in my script to say that file so-and-so is actually a CSV file, or in some other format. Is this possible?

I guess the tricky part is defining precisely what a CSV file is. I've seen "CSV" files with commas, but the fields are enclosed in double quotes. I've seen others without double quotes and just commas as the delimiter. I am dealing with the later type.

Thanks in advance.

NAME
zlags2.f - SYNOPSIS
Functions/Subroutines subroutine zlags2 (UPPER, A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, B3, CSU, SNU, CSV, SNV, CSQ, SNQ) ZLAGS2 Function/Subroutine Documentation subroutine zlags2 (logicalUPPER, double precisionA1, complex*16A2, double precisionA3, double precisionB1, complex*16B2, double precisionB3, double precisionCSU, complex*16SNU, double precisionCSV, complex*16SNV, double precisionCSQ, complex*16SNQ) ZLAGS2 Purpose: ZLAGS2 computes 2-by-2 unitary matrices U, V and Q, such that if ( UPPER ) then U**H *A*Q = U**H *( A1 A2 )*Q = ( x 0 ) ( 0 A3 ) ( x x ) and V**H*B*Q = V**H *( B1 B2 )*Q = ( x 0 ) ( 0 B3 ) ( x x ) or if ( .NOT.UPPER ) then U**H *A*Q = U**H *( A1 0 )*Q = ( x x ) ( A2 A3 ) ( 0 x ) and V**H *B*Q = V**H *( B1 0 )*Q = ( x x ) ( B2 B3 ) ( 0 x ) where U = ( CSU SNU ), V = ( CSV SNV ), ( -SNU**H CSU ) ( -SNV**H CSV ) Q = ( CSQ SNQ ) ( -SNQ**H CSQ ) The rows of the transformed A and B are parallel. Moreover, if the input 2-by-2 matrix A is not zero, then the transformed (1,1) entry of A is not zero. If the input matrices A and B are both not zero, then the transformed (2,2) element of B is not zero, except when the first rows of input A and B are parallel and the second rows are zero. Parameters: UPPER UPPER is LOGICAL = .TRUE.: the input matrices A and B are upper triangular. = .FALSE.: the input matrices A and B are lower triangular. A1 A1 is DOUBLE PRECISION A2 A2 is COMPLEX*16 A3 A3 is DOUBLE PRECISION On entry, A1, A2 and A3 are elements of the input 2-by-2 upper (lower) triangular matrix A. B1 B1 is DOUBLE PRECISION B2 B2 is COMPLEX*16 B3 B3 is DOUBLE PRECISION On entry, B1, B2 and B3 are elements of the input 2-by-2 upper (lower) triangular matrix B. CSU CSU is DOUBLE PRECISION SNU SNU is COMPLEX*16 The desired unitary matrix U. CSV CSV is DOUBLE PRECISION SNV SNV is COMPLEX*16 The desired unitary matrix V. CSQ CSQ is DOUBLE PRECISION SNQ SNQ is COMPLEX*16 The desired unitary matrix Q. Author: Univ. of Tennessee Univ. of California Berkeley Univ. of Colorado Denver NAG Ltd.
