This tiny java method will help you produce standard CSV text of a specific column.

public static String getStandardizedCsv(String columnText){

    //contains line feed ?
    boolean containsLineFeed = false;
    if(columnText.contains("\n")){
        containsLineFeed = true;
    }

    boolean containsCommas = false;
    if(columnText.contains(",")){
        containsCommas = true;
    }

    boolean containsDoubleQuotes = false;
    if(columnText.contains("\"")){
        containsDoubleQuotes = true;
    }

    columnText.replaceAll("\"", "\"\"");

    if(containsLineFeed || containsCommas || containsDoubleQuotes){
        columnText = "\"" + columnText + "\"";
    }

    return columnText;
}
