@ Skip Montanaro, 

Actually, CSV has nothing to do with excel. Excel is a gui that processes CSV like many other programs. CSV stands for comma seperated values and is basic standard for data.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma-separated_values

As far as I know, many programs handle NULL bytes fine (either as a empty atring or a # or something else). In any case, it really should be irrelevent how some particular programs handle a CSV file.
