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."
It would be easier to ignore the line and skip it, then to go through each csv and fix the formatting. How can I do this?
I had this problem in a line like
123,456,a"b"cThe problem is the CSV parser is expecting
", if they appear, to entirely surround the comma-delimited text.Solution use a quote character besides
"that I was sure would not appear in my data:CSV.read(filename, :quote_char => "|")
