Title: double quotes ” import csv problem Last modified: February 14, 2018 --- # double quotes ” import csv problem * Resolved [musiclandplay](https://wordpress.org/support/users/musiclandplay/) * (@musiclandplay) * [8 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/double-quotes-import-csv-problem/) * Hallo, i have a little problem with the import file csv (with ; separator). When inside the description field is a double quote (ad some my articles have this element in reference of inch dimension) the import goes wrong. Example: [http://musicland.altervista.org/violini/](http://musicland.altervista.org/violini/) * 1) this csv file is KO (look at the first record of 2) Immagine;Descrizione; Disponibile;fasciaprezzo ;Violino da studio ” kit 4/4 V11 Clement;cod.463-esaurito; fff1 ;Violino da studio kit 3/4 V11 Clement;cod.464-disponibile;fff1 * 2) this is OK [http://musicland.altervista.org/violini2/](http://musicland.altervista.org/violini2/) * Immagine;Descrizione;Disponibile;fasciaprezzo ;Violino da studio kit 4/4 V11 Clement;cod.463-esaurito;fff1 ;Violino da studio kit 3/4 V11 Clement;cod.464- disponibile;fff1 * the only difference is the presence of this double quote: —-da studio” kit—- in a record inside the violini.csv file -table 10-. but is enought to introduce another ” ad all goes well (pair ok – no pair ko). for instance —-da studio “” kit—- or —-da studio ” kit” —- example [http://musicland.altervista.org/violini3/](http://musicland.altervista.org/violini3/) * this are the option plugin for all tables: .tablepress-id-5 .column-1, .tablepress- id-7 .column-1, .tablepress-id-9 .column-1 { width: 50px; } * .tablepress-id-5 .column-2, .tablepress-id-7 .column-2, .tablepress-id-9 .column- 2 { width: 800px; } * .tablepress-id-5 .column-5, .tablepress-id-7 .column-5, .tablepress-id-9 .column- 5 { width: 300px; } * .tablepress-id-5 .column-6, .tablepress-id-7 .column-6, .tablepress-id-9 .column- 6 { width: 400px; } * .tablepress-id-5 .column-1, .tablepress-id-7 .column-1, .tablepress-id-10 .column- 1, .tablepress-id-10 .column-2, .tablepress-id-10 .column-3, .tablepress-id-14. column-1, .tablepress-id-14 .column-2, .tablepress-id-14 .column-3, .tablepress- id-15 .column-1, .tablepress-id-15 .column-2, .tablepress-id-15 .column-3, .tablepress- id-9 .column-1 { text-align: center; } * .tablepress-id-5 .column-3, .tablepress-id-5 .column-8, * .tablepress-id-10 .column-4, .tablepress-id-14 .column-4, .tablepress-id-15 . column-4, .tablepress-id-58 .column-4 { display: none; } * .tablepress-id-10 .column-1, .tablepress-id-14 .column-1, .tablepress-id-15 . column-1, .tablepress-id-58 .column-1 { width: 220px; height: 220px; } * .tablepress-id-10, .tablepress-id-14, .tablepress-id-15, .tablepress-id-58 { width: 100% !important; } * .tablepress-id-10 .column-2, .tablepress-id-14 .column-2, .tablepress-id-15 . column-2, .tablepress-id-58 .column-2 { width: 220px; height: 140px; white-space: normal; } and the used tables are 10 (ko) 14(ok) 15(ok), and are all equals.

It’s the escaping character. To use it as a normal character, you will always have to duplicate it, like `""`. * The best way for that is to use search/replace in a text editor with your CSV file. * Regards, Tobias * Thread Starter [musiclandplay](https://wordpress.org/support/users/musiclandplay/) * (@musiclandplay) * [8 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/double-quotes-import-csv-problem/#post-9977745) * OK Thanks. * Plugin Author [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * (@tobiasbg) * [8 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/double-quotes-import-csv-problem/#post-9978042) * Hi, * sure, no problem! * Best wishes, Tobias Viewing 3 replies - 1 through 3 (of 3 total) The topic ‘double quotes ” import csv problem’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/tablepress/assets/icon.svg?rev=3192944) * [TablePress - Tables in WordPress made easy](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tablepress/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tablepress/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/tablepress/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/tablepress/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/tablepress/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/tablepress/reviews/) * 3 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * Last activity: [8 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/double-quotes-import-csv-problem/#post-9978042) * Status: resolved
