Read correctly a value which includes the file's delimiter

Hi,

I have a column which suppose to take the value: hello, Ted

But because the delimiter of the file is "," it separates the sentence into two columns.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

Are your data in Text enclosure with ""? Such as: "hello, Ted", Mary, Dan,

If so, you can handle simple using by enabling CSV option in basic setting of tFileInputDelimited.

Best regards

The sentence: It is our honor,to have you

should be in one column

@thodoros kastrinos​ ,

The proper csv file is having the double quotes around the string where your string itself contains the delimeter.

 

student,grades,home-office,2020-12-19, "It is our honor, to have you",poetry

teacher,grades,home-office,2020-11-20, "It is our honor, to have you",literature

student,grades,home-office,2020-11-25, "It is our honor, to have you",mathematics

 

Please try to solve the incoming input data.
