[Dx4win] Need tips how to clean up garbled .csv file

[Larry Alkoff]

I have a thread on the DX Chat reflector titled "DXCC Application" but 
have found out while processing the DX4Win log for DXCC submission that 
there is one area of about 120 qsos where the file is garbled.

To start I used DX4Win to export in .csv all qsos (about 9,000) that are 
confirmed, then export them into Open Office Spreadsheet.

The qsos in the file between number 280 and 398 have gotten out of 
sequence and are not in the proper columns, although the little section 
of 118 qsos seem to be nicely lined up in their own order!

I notice that exporting from DX4Win to .csv produces a file with commas 
separating the fields but there are some embedded commas - especially in 
the comment fields.  Can this mess up my file?

Any tips for characters that you do not want in a file being exported?

It _could_ be some strange memory problem but this dedicated ham Windows 
98SE machine has given me no indications of problems.

What should I be looking for?  Jim do you have any analysis tools?
