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

We ran into this in this same error with data containing quotes in otherwise unquoted input. I.e.:

some cell|this "cell" caused issues|other data

It was hard to find, but in Apache's docs, they mention the withQuote() method which can take null as a value.

We were getting the exact same error message and this (thankfully) ended up fixing the issue for us.
