Hi Guys,
I have a csv file with the following format that I'm trying to parse:
"Column1","Column2","Column3",etc...
Everything is ok, except that sometimes, a comma will show up in one of the columns as:
"text, more text","Column2","Column 3",etc...
so a split on {','} will not work all the times. To make matters worst, sometimes the column has a \r\n in the middle as:
"text
more text","column2","column3".
This is actually a log file, over which I have no control, so I can not change the logging format, column delimiters, nothing.
Now, I can very well live w/o the commas and \r\n if i can remove them somehow. Up until now this seems to be the only 2 'bad' issues. The commas, and the \r\n.
Any ideas on dealing with this file?

Hi,
Is there any way to differentiate between between Column and other text?
I think the columnNames should be enclosed within double quotes like
"Column1","Column2". So that you can get rid of {,} and /r/n issue and even then split function will not work , you have write some lines of code for that.
