I need to do a recurring import of a text file that has \" embedded in strings. For example, a row for the companyToys "R" Us would look like this-
accountno|company|street1|street2|city|phone
123456|"Toys \"R\" Us"|"123 Main St"|" Unit\"B\""|"Toytown"|18001112222
(bolded for emphasis)
The SQL2012 import wizard is fine with double-double quotes, but it chokes on this embedded backslash-double quote. The data provider insists that no one else has a problem with this format. Any suggestions on how to either configure the import wizard to consume these embedded escape characters, or to configure a DTS step to replace them with a double-double quote?
