I want to know how to validate a string which is comma separated

I need to validate each field value against a set of rules, for example

checking if the string is a character or a numeric value, for the
length of the character etc.

It looks like a .csv file to me. That's Comma Separated Value. Lots of
programs write files like this, dBASE, Clipper, FoxPro, Access, Excel,
etc. If you have a set of rules, please share.
