Re: How to handle extra double quotes in CSVR4?

Could you simply replace every instance of ,"" with ,"' and every instance
of "", with '", ?

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?
