specify CSV delimeters

Would be good yes.

In the long run it would be better to hand the whole task of data input to a dedicated module like this one:

http://drupal.org/node/67043

That way other Drupal modules can use the data input functions, and then just concentrating on processing the data.

Because http://drupal.org/project/profile_csv uses doubleqoute enclosures and semicolon delimiters and this module is the logical complement it would make much sense to at least support that format

I would really like a API module that just handles CSV import.

I need this -- I'm trying to rebuild my drupal system to avoid some data corruption that may have occurred. My user data has to include commas, as it includes LDAP information. Am I going to have to import directly to MySQL?

I've had to import fields with commas as well. I switched to a tab-delimited file and modified the module slightly. There are two calls to the function fgetcsv in user_import.module; if you make the third argument in each "\t", the module will break the file up by tabs instead of commas.

I've imported ~30,000 user records this way with no problems.

Replacing to head as it could a significant feature... and subscribing

Is there a better way of doing this (exporting and importing users) by now? I am looking at http://drupal.org/project/importexportapi but it doesnt mention users and seems not to be quite ready. Haven't tried though, so method described in this issue still seems to be a good idea?

User Import 6.x-3.0-beta1 has support for custom delimiters.

Not sure if it covers all the requirements of this issue, if it doesn't please re-open it and give more detail.
