Double quote (") issue in the source .csv file in SSIS

  • Hi Guys,

    Here is the one Data from my source is erroring out.
    "E:60 Pic: 20 years and 11 seconds" - The Travis Loy Story"",

    The source file is in .csv format and In SSIS Flat file source I am using TEXT QUALIFIER = ". He is removing first " in the source file but the second one. If I remove second double quote (")
    from the file, it is working. Any advice how can I fix this issue?

    Try not using a text qualifier. Then if you have to remove quotes later in the process, do that.

  • Phil, 

    Thank You for your reply, It will solve this issue that I am having. However, If I have data with extra, it will break the process that is the reason I am using the double quote (") as a Text Qualifier. 

    Thank You.

    Thank You.

    OK, then I suggest you change your text qualifier to something more unusual. The pipe character (|) is one common option.
