问题
I have a list of CSV files which i receive for ETL into database every month. Its in a folder. My data has ; in many columns as well. For example, in the location column values like New York; USA are present, which i want to appear in a single column instead of splitting into many columns. How do i specify delimiter then?
回答1:
I think you cannot have the field separator included in the field content or you have to incluse these values between "". For example:
blabla;"New York; USA";blabla
Other solution, change the field delimitor to a more specific (and unused) character.
I'm afraid there is no better solution.

As TRF mentioned, you can't have the delimiter as part of the non-delimiting text in your file.
My workaround for that would be the following:
1) Read the file with a tFileInputFullRow (https://help.talend.com/display/TalendComponentsReferenceGuide54EN/tFileInputFullRow)
2) Use a tReplace to replace the ; with some other character,
say -, for the problem cells (in your case, replace "New York;USA" with "New York-USA". You can also use the regex option in the tReplace component to make it a generic rule.
3) Save that output into another file
4) Now read the new file using ; as the delimiter
