Re^2: Recommendations for parsing invalid CSV

[markjugg]

I am not. I'm working with an export of an older version of the "TimeMatters" software.

Regarding what Text::CSV_XS can do, in summary are you saying that one of the "allow_loose_quotes" or "allow_loose_escapes" option can or will be able to handle this?

That would certainly be the easiest path for me. Thanks so much for the fast and helpful response!

Yes. You'd have to play with allow_loose_quotes, allow_loose_escapes and/or setting escape_char to undef to find your best combination. The upcoming 0.43 has a new util examples/csv-check, which will tell you line number and position in-line of where the first failure happens
