I think this started happening around the 24th - at least that's when
people started complaining about the data I'm loading. I'm seeing the
following: When I request keyword performance files I specify CSV as
the format. In cases where there are modified broad match keywords,
I'm seeing the keywords being specified as
'+word+word,
I would think that it should be
"+word+word",
if the goal was to escape the text string, but really
+word+word,
should be just as good - there's no real need to escape the string.
This is not Excel CSV format, just CSV format. I'm getting around this
by always checking for a leading apostrophe in a keyword, and dropping
it whenever it occurs, but this seems like a bug to me. A sample
report ID is 4152096. Here is a sanitized fragment of the CSV file:
