Re: How to handle extra double quotes in CSVR4?

I've never run across a CSV file that used quotes that way in my 30-ish years of working with CSV.  This is very, very unusual. You'll probably need to customize CSVR4 or write your own routine.  That's the fun of being a programmer, right?  When someone sends you something unusual, you can still make it work.

 I'm trying to process a .csv file using Scott K's CSVR4 program, but I'm running into an issue where occasionally there's a text field that contains double quotes in the actual text.

Example:
"1","This is a regular title","AAA"
"2",""This is a quoted title"","BBB"

 In the second  record the double quote pairs seem to throw the processor off.  Has anyone run into this?  Any solution?
