Getting Data In

Upload csv file with escaped quotes

Hello together,

I have a csv file which looks like this:

 

"Time";"Comment"

"15:53:21";"Here stands something \"very\" interesting"

 

I have nested quotes in the column "Comment". That´s why I have to escape them by using the "\". 

This is what I want to have as output:

 

"Time";"Comment"

"15:53:21";"Here stands something "very" interesting"

 

What I have tried so far is to use auto_escaped as KV_MODE which can be found in Add Data --> Select Source-->Set Source Type-->Advanced. But without success. The escape character is still there.

 

I would appreciate any helpful hints.
