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

There is an example parser is c# that seems to handle your case correctly. Then you can read your data in and purge the line breaks out of it post-read. Part 2 is the parser, and there is a Part 1 that covers the writer portion.
