CSV.read Illegal quoting in line x

Question

I am using ruby CSV.read with massive data. From time to time the library encounters poorly formatted lines, for instance:

\"Illegal quoting in line 53657.\"         


        

Answer 1

Try forcing double quote character " as quote char:

require 'csv'
CSV.foreach(file,{headers: :first_row, quote_char: "\x00"}) do |line|
  p line
end
