AP names with commas corrupt CSV entries #11

Encountered a glitch in the CSV file output:

SSID: LG_Speaker_S80QY_7934.l078_ (as captured by WiGle WiFi - they replace commas with _)

CSV output line -- note the comma in the SSID name has be included in the output. This leaves the "AuthMode" for this entry blank, and pushes the "[ESS]" value into "FirstSeen" column, and all subsequent fields only column to the right.

FA:8F:CA:5D:71:B9,LG_Speaker_S80QY_7934.l078,,[ESS],2023-10-01 22:48:54,1,-91,44.885960,-92.903198,295,0.970000,WIFI

Here is the full output from a Wigle KML file export for comparison. Wigle replaces the comma with an underscore "_" to avoid the issue.

            <Placemark>
                <name>LG_Speaker_S80QY_7934.l078_</name>

                </Point>
            </Placemark>

This has also been observed with the SSID "Bill Wi, The Science Fi" and similar naming where there is a comma at a word boundary. In Wigle-land, the comma is replaced by an underscore "_"
