Using Flat File Connection Manager Editor with delimited format

Hello everyone:

I am new with SSIS and I have a problem that I don’t know solving it.

I have a simple package with a delimited flat file source which is loaded into a table in a SQL Server database.

Below is the import format:

- Row delimiter: carriage return and line feed {CR/LF}

- Column delimiter: Comma {,}

- Text qualifier: “

In the source file, the data looks like this:

“string1 ”, 34, “”, , ,” string2 “text1” string2” , “ “,

This package with DTS works, but now with SSIS does not, when I see the “previous rows” in the Flat File Connection Manager Editor, the last column has incorrect information and when I create a new file without spaces and without twice “” in the same string, it works. I don’t know what I am missing with SSIS.

Regards,

Fanny Tejera

    SSIS does not support embedded text qualifiers in this version.

    However, you can look at these sample components that I mentioned elsewhere recently ...

    Hi

    even i too have the same problem. I tried it with the same links you have provided. But i am getting the same error at flat source file.

    i have downloaded, installed and build the components.

    when i am using the undouble or undouble component it could not remove the ", i am getting the error at flat file source during validation itself. can you please reply me as soon as possible.

    can you please tell me how and where to use the undouble component.

    Thanks in advance,

    Anand

    I installed the undouble but getting the error that i can't use it with DT_NTEXT

    How to solve this or is there a other solution. I must place it in DT_NTEXT because the field is longer then 8000.

    In access i can import it in a memo field without any problems.

    Well, technically double quotes inside a field should be escaped with another double quote.

    "string1 ", 34, "", , , "string2 ""text1"" continued string2", " ",
