CSV files with blank lines read incorrectly

[ToddFincannonEI]

readCSV skips rows in CSV files that have all empty fields. Note that Excel writes such rows with comma delimiters but no data between delimiters, like this: ,,,. This throws off cell references in Vensim functions such as GET DIRECT CONSTANTS.

The attached model illustrates the problem.

For this model, sde test prints:

_k time=0.00 vensim=3 sde=4 diff=33.333333%
