How do I handle line breaks in a CSV file using C#?

Question

I have an Excel spreadsheet being converted into a CSV file in C#, but am having a problem dealing with line breaks. For instance:

\"John\",\"23\",\"555-555         


        

Answer 1

Maybe you could count for (") during the ReadLine(). If they are odd, that will raise the flag. You could either ignore those lines, or get the next two and eliminate the first "\n" occurrence of the merge lines.
