I have a vb project that imports a csv file and some of the data contains commas. The fields with the commas are in double quotes.

I am creating a datagridview from the header row of the csv then importing the remainder of the file into the dgv but the fields with commas are causing a problem. The fields are not fixed width.

I think I need a way to qualify the commas as a delimiter based on double quote or some other method of importing the data into the dgv.

Thanks

Using objReader As New StreamReader(FName)
Dim line As String = objReader.ReadLine()
Do While objReader.Peek() <> -1
 line = objReader.ReadLine()
 Dim splitLine() As String = line.Split(",")
 DataGridView1.Rows.Add(splitLine)
 Application.DoEvents()
Loop
End Using

Example Data:

1,"VALIDFLAG, NOGPS",0,1.34,3.40,0.17,1

Thinks very much for the suggestions.

I am going to use textfieldparser for my import.

Using MyReader As New Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO.TextFieldParser(FName)
 MyReader.TextFieldType = Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO.FieldType.Delimited
 MyReader.Delimiters = New String() ","
 Dim currentRow As String()
 Dim firstline As Boolean = True
 While Not MyReader.EndOfData
 Try
 currentRow = MyReader.ReadFields()
 If firstline = True Then
 firstline = False
 Else
 Me.DataGridView1.Rows.Add(currentRow)
 End If
 Catch ex As Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO.MalformedLineException
 MsgBox("Line " & ex.Message & " is invalid. Skipping")
 End Try
 Application.DoEvents()
 End While
End Using
