I was able to come up with a solution with ideas from Robert’s code. Thanks

This was not written for a generic case so it does strip out commas and semi-colons and escaped quotes – those chars weren’t needed in my case. Maybe this will get you started and if you want I can help make it more robust. It also assumes that row 1 is column names. From: Fogelson, Steve [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, October 24, 2016 1:44 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: TeraScript-Talk: Processing a csv file with intermittent quotes contained in it I receive an inventory file in a comma delimited csv file. In the taf I use to process it, first I @TOKENIZE using a <@CRLF> to separate rows, then @TRANSPOSE and then @TOKENIZE based on a comma to segment the fields. I didn’t realize but some of the fields are enclosed in quotes because they contain a comma within the field. Two examples are a quantity greater than 999 – “1,000” and a product description with a comma in it. So rows containing quotes and extra commas are not being processed correctly. I could start at the beginning of each row and search for a starting and ending quote and delete any commas between, but this could take a while. Does anyone have a more efficient way of processing this?
