* We have the following CSV...

* permalink,company,numEmps,category,city,state,fundedDate,raisedAmt,raisedCurrency,round
* lifelock,LifeLock,,web,Tempe,AZ,1-May-07,6850000,USD,b
* mycityfaces,MyCityFaces,7,web,Scottsdale,AZ,1-Jan-08,50000,USD,seed
* flypaper,Flypaper,,web,Phoenix,AZ,1-Feb-08,3000000,USD,a
* infusionsoft,Infusionsoft,105,software,Gilbert,AZ,1-Oct-07,9000000,USD,a
* gauto,gAuto,4,web,Scottsdale,AZ,1-Jan-08,250000,USD,seed

loCsv = CreateObject('Chilkat.Csv')

loCsv.HasColumnNames = 1
lnSuccess = loCsv.LoadFromString(loSb.GetAsString())

* Let's say we want to append the following row:
* yelp,Yelp,,web,San Francisco,CA,1-Jul-04,1000000,USD,a

* If we have the row as-is, we could do this:
loCsvTemp = CreateObject('Chilkat.Csv')
lnSuccess = loCsvTemp.LoadFromString("yelp,Yelp,,web,San Francisco,CA,1-Jul-04,1000000,USD,a")
lnNumCols = loCsvTemp.NumColumns
i = 0
lnRow = loCsv.NumRows
DO WHILE i < lnNumCols
    loCsv.SetCell(lnRow,i,loCsvTemp.GetCell(0,i))
    i = i + 1
ENDDO

* Show the updated CSV:
? loCsv.SaveToString()

* Output should be:
* permalink,company,numEmps,category,city,state,fundedDate,raisedAmt,raisedCurrency,round
* lifelock,LifeLock,,web,Tempe,AZ,1-May-07,6850000,USD,b
* mycityfaces,MyCityFaces,7,web,Scottsdale,AZ,1-Jan-08,50000,USD,seed
* flypaper,Flypaper,,web,Phoenix,AZ,1-Feb-08,3000000,USD,a
* infusionsoft,Infusionsoft,105,software,Gilbert,AZ,1-Oct-07,9000000,USD,a
* gauto,gAuto,4,web,Scottsdale,AZ,1-Jan-08,250000,USD,seed
* yelp,Yelp,,web,San Francisco,CA,1-Jul-04,1000000,USD,a
