Is it possible to grab access to the actually user-friendly error message? I have a bunch of files that come into my database, each slightly different. The submitter fills out a form that records the info, and sticks it into a table.

If the file is malformed (wrong number of columns in a row) from a missing comma or something, I want to record the result to store in the database. I assume that I should exception handle the COPY FROM line, and store the results, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to get the text like "invalid line on line 470352" or whatever psql shows. Is that possible to obtain in plpgsql?

I've done extensive plpgsql programming before, but this is the first time I need it to validate the external data in question.
