[LRUG] Reading Outlook Contacts

Hola El Rug,

I'm writing some code to read the CSV files you get when you export contacts from Outlook as "Comma Separated Values (Windows)".  Unfortunately I don't have any example files to work with and I can't find a good description of the output on the web.  And surprisingly there doesn't seem to be any open source Ruby which does this already.

I found the column headings here: http://stackoverflow.com/a/4852214/151007

Assuming that's correct, I also need to know the column separator (comma or tab?) and the encoding.  Can anybody help?

Thanks!

Andy Stewart
