How do I find the delimiter of a CSV file?

Here's what I do. Parse the first 5 lines of a CSV file. Count the number of delimiters [commas, tabs, semicolons and colons] in each line. Compare the number of delimiters in each line. If you have a properly formatted CSV, then one of the delimiter counts will match in each row.
