Description:
------------
Using versions:
PEAR ver 1.3.5
File ver 1.2.0 (cvs 1.29)
File_CSV (cvs 1.19)

When using a file with a single column format, the discoverFormat method doesn't detect the quotes.

I believe the problem lies with line 473:
preg_match("|^([$quotes]).*([$quotes])$sep
should be
preg_match("|^([$quotes]).*([$quotes])$sep{0,1}

Reproduce code:
---------------
Save a File
<<<
"Sample Data Line 1"
"Sample Data Line 2"
"Sample Data Line 3"
"Sample Data Line 4"
"Sample Data Line 5"
>>>

$config = File_CSV::discoverFormat("/path/to/file.txt");

Expected result:
----------------
Array
(
[fields] => 1
[sep] => ,
[quote] => "
)

Actual result:
--------------
Array
(
[fields] => 1
[sep] => ,
[quote] => null
)
