Read csv file in R with double quotes

Question

Suppose I have a csv file looks like this:

Type,ID,NAME,CONTENT,RESPONSE,GRADE,SOURCE
A,3,\"\",\"I have comma, ha!\",I have open double quotes\",A,\"\"
         


        

Answer 1

fread from data.table handles this just fine:

library(data.table)

fread('Type,ID,NAME,CONTENT,RESPONSE,GRADE,SOURCE
A,3,"","I have comma, ha!",I have open double quotes",A,""')
#   Type ID NAME           CONTENT                   RESPONSE GRADE SOURCE
#1:    A  3      I have comma, ha! I have open double quotes"     A
