Invalid char between encapsulated token and delimiter in Apache Commons CSV library

Question

I am getting the following error while parsing the CSV file using the Apache Commons CSV library.

Exception in thread \"main\" java.io.IOException: (line 2)          


        

Answer 1

I found the solution to the problem. One of my CSV file has an attribute as follows: "attribute with nested "quote" "

Due to nested quote in the attribute the parser fails.

To avoid the above problem escape the nested quote as follows: "attribute with nested """"quote"""" "

This is the one way to solve the problem.
