Dealing with commas in a CSV file

Question

I am looking for suggestions on how to handle a csv file that is being created, then uploaded by our customers, and that may have a comma in a value, like a company name.

Answer 1

Put double quotes around strings. That is generally what Excel does.

Ala Eli,

you escape a double quote as two double quotes. E.g. "test1","foo""bar","test2"
