My stock Yahoo UK entry says:

"?([^,"]*)"?,.*

for the symbol, and there the quotes are optional

Ah, that makes more sense. But my version definitely doesn't have the question marks - yet it works without quotes being present in the source data. That's weird. Oh well, I think I'll just add the question marks - it makes more sense that way.

Thanks again for your help.
