Question

I have searched the internet about the comma issues about csv document.But my trouble is about dealing with the value containing not only comma but also quote.
like String value = "FName,\"FName2,FName3";
I want to display the string FName,”FName2,FName3 in the csv document.Though i tried a couple of approaches,but failed.
When the string contains comma,I can use double quote to surround it like code below.

outBuff.append("\\").append(cellData).append("\\").append(",");   

But when the string contains “” and ,
How can i deal with this issue?

I can only use the pulest java,and can not use the third part library.
Thanks.
