How do you read comma delimited data from programs such as Excel where the
data itself contains dounble quotes and commas. It used to be you could just
use input. How is it fone now?
The data below contains output from Access saved as a CSV.
line 1,"normal data","a double quote "" here"
line 2,"a comma , here ","more normal data"
Input's help documents the "" will not work.
7  11309 
You would use a StreamReader to read the file line by line.
Then perform a .Split(@"\",\"") on the string.

Robbe,
As I understand the split function wouldn't that split on every "?
For example "7 inches""" would return 7 inches and "" and not 7 inches"
Thanks,
Ron
