Reading .csv files with CR LF in string considers it's a new record

ANNE_LEROY

Hello,

 

I have an issue when reading a .csv file where there is in the middle of a string field a CR LF.

It considers that it is a new record starting from the CR LF, even if it is inside  a string field .

 

 

Thank you for your precious help

 

Anne

Hi @ANNE_LEROY 

 

What are you using as the delimiter in the Input Data tool? You can try \0 which is basically no delimiter, and should bring in the csv without splitting anything

I used a delimiter that does not exist in my data => ####

 

I tried with \0 as suggested; but it still split me the record in two

I found it.

 

There is another option which is called : AMP only : Allow newlines in quoted fields

 

😊

 

@davidskaife  Thank you for your suggestion of \0, it's interesting to know
