No, I'm not trying to use the double double quote as a delimiter. I am
simply trying to parse the file as a normal comma-delimited file as I have
always done. It now fails, because a double double quote is not a valid
field delimiter, apparently. As I mentioned before, even Excel fails to
open the file, so the whole reason for putting these in in the first place
fails. I just need to be able to parse this file as I always have, and with
the double double quotes in there, I can't do that.
If you want to reproduce the problem, simply copy the two sample lines and
paste them into a text file and then try to parse the file using any CSV
parser, or try opening it in Excel.
Can you fix it so that it puts a single double quote instead of a double
double one?
Thanks!
Robert
