And what do those hex-escaped bytes mean? Are they in text strings? AFAIK CSV doesn't contain any information about
whatencoding was used to create it, so it could be about anything; UTF-8, Win1252, ISO-8859-something, or whatever
Sybasewas using. 

I'm just saying, be careful what you're parsing there ;)
