[GNC] GC 3.2 Import Price File CSV

[D]

I should mention that this thread alerted me to the problems that Excel csv files can cause with the importer. My own attempts to import price data also failed, as I was using Excel as a source. I attempted to use different encoding, as this person did, but none of the many format choices solved it for me. My solution was to remove Excel from the process altogether.

It seems to me that there is need to determine precisely what needs to change for the importer to work with Excel.

[For the record, I could never get the importer to process the EOL characters in the Excel csv file. I'm on a Mac, and I know that EOL characters can vary by OS. I tried replacing the newline character with CRLF, but that didn't work. Nor did any other changes, and so I gave up. Regardless, suffice to say that importing from an Excel-generated csv file didn't work on my Mac.]I
