See http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/mysqlimport.html and particularly, search for a comment about csv files on Windows (which you will want to alter to your specific platform)

Hi GrisWolf

Figured it out yesterday. Thanks for your help.

mysql -u**** -p**** database --execute="LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'C:\\import.csv' INTO TABLE table FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n' (field1, field2, field3)"

Regards
