      Beside the solution provided by Serge, if you wish to stick to
      csvRead(), have you tried using its "substitute" option, with a
      [":" ","] value?<br>
      I didn't, but would be interested by results. I am wondering
      whether the substitution is done before splitting the line with
      the separator (then "substitute" will work), or after. This detail
      would deserve being documented.<br>
      <br>
      Read you soon<br>
