.CSV Files
 
My csv file is delimited by commas and text is delimited by ". My file
considers carriage returns and next line characters enclosed in " as
text. I am facing a problem when trying to open this file in excel.
The excel doesn't care that next line character enclosed by " and
thinks it is the end of a record. Is there a way to excel that
anything inside " should be treated as text?

Thanks in advance

.CSV Files
 

When Excel reads a .CSV file it will separate data by a single divider
such as a comma or by fixed lengths. It does not use more than one
separators.
If I were you I would replace all the apostrophes, " , with a comma. I
would edit the resulting worksheet.
