CSV formatting - strip qualifier from specific fields

问题


I am sorry if this question as been asked before, but I couldn't find anything similar.

I am receiving CSV output that uses " as a text qualifier around every field. I am looking for an elegant solution to reformat these so that only specific (alphanumeric fields) have these qualifiers.

An example of what I am receiving:

"TRI-MOUNTAIN/MOUNTAI","F258273","41016053","A","10/16/14",3,"1","Recruit-Navy,XL#28-75","13.25","13.25"

My desired output would be this:

"TRI-MOUNTAIN/MOUNTAI","F258273",41016053,"A",10/16/14,3,1,"Recruit-Navy,XL#28-75",13.25,13.25

Any suggestions or assistance are greatly appreciated!

Per request below find the first five lines of the example file:

"TRI-MOUNTAIN/MOUNTAI","F258273","41016053","","10/16/14","","1","Recruit-Navy,XL#28-75","13.25","13.25"
"TRI-MOUNTAIN/MOUNTAI","F258273","41016053","","10/16/14","","1","High Peak-Navy,XL#21-18","36.75","36.75"
"TRI-MOUNTAIN/MOUNTAI","F257186","Z1023384","","10/15/14","","1","Patriot-Red,L#26-35","25.50","25.50"
"TRI-MOUNTAIN/MOUNTAI","F260780","Z1023658","","10/20/14","","1","Exeter-Red/Gray,S#23-52","19.75","19.75"
"TRI-MOUNTAIN/MOUNTAI","F260780","Z1023658","","10/20/14","","1","Exeter-White/Gray,XL#23-56","19.75","19.75"

Note that this is only an example and not all files will be for Tri-Mountain.

Since you've not specified OS or language, here is the PowerShell version.

I've ditched my previous attempt to work with Import-CSV because of your non-standard CSV files and switched to raw file processing. Should be significantly faster too.

Regex to split CSV is from this question: How to split a string by comma ignoring comma in double quotes

Save this script as StripQuotes.ps1. It accepts following arguments:

  • InPath: folder to read CSVs from. If not specified, the current directory is used.
  • OutPath: folder to save processed CSVs to. Will be created, if not exist.
  • Encoding: If not specified, script will use system's current ANSI code page to read the files. You can get other valid encodings for your system in PowerShell console like this: [System.Text.Encoding]::GetEncodings()
  • Verbose: script will tell you what's going on via Write-Verbose messages.

Example (run from the PowerShell console).

Process all CSVs in the folder C:\CSVs_are_here, save processed CSVs to the folder C:\Processed_CSVs, be verbose:

.\StripQuotes.ps1 -InPath 'C:\CSVs_are_here' -OutPath 'C:\Processed_CSVs' -Verbose

StripQuotes.ps1 script:

Param
(
    [Parameter(ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName = $true)]
    [ValidateScript({
        if(!(Test-Path -LiteralPath $_ -PathType Container))
        {
            throw "Input folder doesn't exist: $_"
        }
        $true
    })]
    [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()]
    [string]$InPath = (Get-Location -PSProvider FileSystem).Path,

    [Parameter(Mandatory = $true, ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName = $true)]
    [ValidateScript({
        if(!(Test-Path -LiteralPath $_ -PathType Container))

            try

This problem presents the difficulty of separating quotes from comma separated fields where the fields themselves contain embedded commas. (e.g.: "Recruit-Navy,XL#28-75") There are a number of ways to approach this from a shell standpoint (while read, awk, etc.) but most will ultimately stumble on the embedded comma.

One approach found to be successful was a brute force character-by-character parse of the line. (below) This isn't an elegant solution, but it will get you started. The other alternative to a shell program would be a compiled language, such as C, where character handling is a bit more robust. Leave a comment if you have questions.

#!/bin/bash

declare -a arr
declare -i ct=0

## fill array with separated fields (preserving comma in fields)
#  Note: the following is a single-line (w/continuations for readability)
arr=( $( line='"TRI-MOUNTAIN/MOUNTAI","F258273","41016053","A","10/16/14",3,"1","Recruit-Navy,XL#28-75","13.25","13.25"'; \
for ((i=0; i < ${#line}; i++)); do \
    if test "${line:i:1}" == ',' ; then \
        if test "${line:i+1:1}" == '"' -o "${line:i-1:1}" == '"' ; then \
            printf " "; \
        else \
            printf "%c" ${line:i:1}; \
        fi; \
    else \
        printf "%c" ${line:i:1}; \
    fi; \
done; \
printf "\n" ) )

## remove quotes from non-numeric fields
for i in "${arr[@]}"; do 
    if [[ "${i:0:1}" == '"' ]] && [[ ${i:1:1} == [0123456789] ]]; then
        arr[$ct]="${i//\"/}"
    else
        arr[$ct]="$i"
    fi
    if test "$ct" -eq 0 ; then
        printf "%s" "${arr[ct]}"
    else
        printf ",%s" "${arr[ct]}"
    fi
    ((ct++))
done

printf "\n"

exit 0

output

$ bash sepquoted.sh
"TRI-MOUNTAIN/MOUNTAI","F258273",41016053,"A",10/16/14,3,1,"Recruit-Navy,XL#28-75",13.25,13.25
