Note:
The locale settings are taken into account by this function. If
LC_CTYPE
is e.g.en_US.UTF-8
, strings in one-byte encodings may be read wrongly by this function.
string
The string to parse.
separator
Set the field delimiter (one single-byte character only).
enclosure
Set the field enclosure character (one single-byte character only).
escape
Set the escape character (at most one single-byte character). Defaults as a backslash
(\
)
An empty string (""
) disables the proprietary escape mechanism.
Note: Usually an
enclosure
character is escaped inside a field by doubling it; however, theescape
character can be used as an alternative. So for the default parameter values""
and\"
have the same meaning. Other than allowing to escape theenclosure
character theescape
character has no special meaning; it isn't even meant to escape itself.
Returns an indexed array containing the fields read.

The escape parameter now interprets an empty
string as signal to disable the proprietary escape mechanism. Formerly,
an empty string was treated like the default parameter value.
