Lee LeSubject: selecting the correct Line Terminator & Delimiter Pair for CSV file
Author: Lee Le
Date: 12 Dec 2007 12:09 AM
I am trying to use 'Customer XML Conversion' to convert CSV file to XML. However, I'm having troubles selecting the correct Line Terminator and Delimiter Pair in the conversion properties.

I have a CSV file that:
1) has CR,LF within the field causing Stylus Studio to indicate that a new record is starting because CR,LF is defaulted as the Line Terminator. But any other selection I choose for Line Terminator doesn't make the records display correctly.
2) has double-quotes to delimit fields. Stylus Studio defaults the Delimiter Pairs as "","" When I tried to select "," the Delimiter Pairs automatically displays '\",'\" instead.

How should I modify the CSV file or change the properties for the conversion to get the data in each field and row correctly converted?

Thanks,
Lee

Tony LavinioSubject: selecting the correct Line Terminator & Delimiter Pair for CSV file

In order to escape the doubled quotes, there is a property
called "Double delimiter to escape."

But, Custom XML Converters do not currently handle CR/LF embedded
within a quoted string.

If you can modify the program that generates the CSV to change the
line ending from CR/LF to CR/LF/CR/LF, then set the property for
end-of-line to CR,LF,CR,LF, then you should get what you want.
