<div>Is it possible to use cvsRead in such a way to
define the separator beeing ',' and ':' at the same
time?<br>

Yes and no: Yes because each character of the "separator" option is
(sometimes) considered as a<br>
separator. And no, because it sometimes fails.<br>
I was designing an example to add to the csvRead() page, when a
found this bug:<br>
<br>
<tt>--> mputl("12.08.2016, 13:54:18.45, 3.145, 548.4",
TMPDIR+"/test.csv")</tt><tt><br>
<br>
</tt><tt>--> r = "''"+csvRead("test.csv","8.",[],"string")+"''"</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> r = </tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>!'12' '0' '2016, 13:54:1' '45, 3' '145, 54' '4' !</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>--> // it works: both "8" and "." are <b>separately</b>
considered as separators<br>
<br>
--> // now trying with "," and ":":</tt><br>
<tt>--> r = "''"+csvRead("test.csv",",:", [], "string")+"''"</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>--> r = "''"+csvRead("test.csv",",:", [], "string")+"''"<br>
r = <br>
'12.08.2016, 13:54:18.45, 3.145, 548.4'<br>
--> // The row is kept as is: no splitting!<br>
--> // We could expect: [</tt><tt><tt>'12.08.2016' ' 13' '54' '18.45'
' 3.145' ' 548.4']<br>
--> // (with leading spaces, since they are not set as
separators)<br>
--> </tt></tt><br>
<br>
There are already 10 pending reported bugs about csvRead(). One
more.<br>
