Import CSV then remove QUOTE marks

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hi All,

 

Trying to read in a CSV file and as part of the process, I want it to ignore any double " QUOTE marks ". There are many throughout the string and unfortunately removing them before this process is not possible.

 

I am using CSVParse from Encodian, so I will need to read the data through this, then remove the quotes, then use the newly QUOTE free data to be used going forward.

Thanks

    Hi @Anonymous,

     

    You could use the replace() function to remove double quotes, for example:

    replace('CSV file content','"','')

    Thanks for the reply. This is what I was thinking of, however it's more a case of the best way to handle that, for example, I am working with the flow set below. I am not sure if it's going to work though.

    I then take the "Apply To Each" and take the string and want to convert it to integer.

    Hi @Anonymous,

     

    The replace() function should have three parameters, we should put the original text that needs to process in the first position: 

    replace('<text>', '<oldText>', '<newText>')

    How do I implant the ParseCSV data into the process though? I can only "choose" the ParseCSVData when I am using a static value, but, when you are doing a formula such as replace? 

     

    What I want to do is replace(ParseCSV,'"','"') but It comes up with some sort of formatting error,

    Hi @Anonymous,

     

    Please try :

    replace(outputs('Parse_CSV')?['body/csvData'],'"','')
