Re: Removing thousands separator from CSV quoted string

I have a CSV file coming from a trading partner that uses formatted
dollar amounts - "$2,123.45". I need to remove the thousands
separator comma before I import the file into a real PF.

A true CSV will have double-quotes around a field that has commas
in it. So, I would think you would want to read/import this field as a
character field and then manipulate it into numeric format after the fact.
