Obviously I did that, all it talked about was setting the source as a file. I'm new at this but I'm not using this as the first place I look.

Or a stream, but I don't know how to convert a string into a stream. And please forgive my obvious ignorance on the topic

It's the quotes, I'm dealing with fairly complex CSV files, were there no commas in quotes that did not represent a comma split then I would be fine. Currently I send it line by line as a string using streamReader to my parser which works on about 90% of my files, I fix the problem and it shows a new one, Sometimes the problem occurs when I have two commas with no characters in between, so I fix that and then if there is only one character for the last column then it doesn't see that, or it doesn't properly handle when there is are two commas after a section in quotes or... well you get the idea, no matter what I fix there is always one of these problems. And yes, I know Visual Basic Express is essentially Visual Studio but I can't use projects made in Visual Studio so I can't use any of the premade CSV parsers because they were all in Visual Studio. If it's VB.net code then I guess I could look and find the raw code files and copy that but... ugh. I guess that's what I'll have to do.

Oh my goodness I don't even.... Haha thank you, that solves this perfectly I think. How on earth I missed that I have no idea. Thank you very much Adam

Cubase for sure. That is the program that is the most similar to Logic, in some ways better actually. It depends on what you want to do though, Reason is also pretty good but depends on what you want to do, if you're JUST editing sound files, then Audacity is plenty, if you're recording with a midi instrument then you want a decent sampler, look at Reason and Cubase. If you're recording a band, ProTools is great, Cubase is great. Reason has Reason Record now but Reason started out as a MIDI sampler and I would stay away from it for big projects with lots of audio files. But really, the closest thing to logic is Cubase.
