I have a .csv file that has double-quotes around every field. Some of the fields have a comma inside the double quotes. When I use the Create Excel task, it works beautifully until it hits a field with a comma inside the double quotes, and parses on that comma as well. For Example:
"John", "Doe", "1234 Somewhere Lane, My City, CA", "(123) 293-8829"
This should parse with 4 fields as:
John
Doe
1234 Somewhere Lane, My City, CA
(123) 293-8829

But instead it parses with 6 fields as:
John
Doe
1234 Somewhere Lane
My City
CA
(123) 293-8829

How do I get the Create Excel task to recognize the quoted identifiers and parse correctly.
I have set the quoted identifier option as double-quotes.

Hm. I believe your change has introduced a new error.
I now get the following error in my Create Excel Task:
Error: Exception in Task: parsing "\|(?=(?:[^]*[^]*)*(?![^]*))" - Unterminated [] set.

My task is based on output from another task with a Pipe-separator, a blank text-qualifier and Cr as newline.
I think it's the blank text-qualifier that is the problem

Best regards,
René
