What Escape Character for a comma is recognized by Survey123?

[Anonymous User]

Hello all,

I have a csv file with fields containing commas (escaped with double quotes) to be used with the PullData() function in Survey123.  Survey123 doesn't recognize the quotes.  

Example: -1,0000F5,"Albright's Mill, Vonada Enterprises, Inc. d/b/a",,,,,,1061 Kryder Rd

Is there an escape character which Survey123 does recognize?

Thanks,

Jim

Hi Jim,

Currently, there isn't an escape character for a comma.  We have plans to improve the parsing of CSV files in the future.
