Bug when loading CSV file with quotes

Hi,

I am loading up a flat file which has product names in. Some of these names have comas inside the description so the products have been wrapped in " (double quotes).

However any subsequent file is not loading. I believe that the script is not intepreting the code properly as there is only a single " (double quote) in the code.

.

.

.

FROM

[..\myproduct.csv]

(txt, codepage is 1252, embedded labels, comment is ", delimiter is ' ', msq);

anything after this seems to be intepreted as being inside quotes and no files after this load. i've tried various things to sort it out, but i guess it looks like i'll have to change the source data so that the quotes are removed and that the delimiter is different.

cheers

Hello,

I believe the source of the problem resides in the comment parameter: There should be 2 " characters rather than only one.

LOAD *

FROM  [..\myproduct.csv] 

(txt, codepage is 1252, embedded labels, comment is "", delimiter is ' ', msq);


If you wish, you may also omit that parameter:


LOAD *

FROM  [..\myproduct.csv] 

(txt, codepage is 1252, embedded labels, delimiter is ' ', msq);


Regards,
