Hi all,

we'd observed that when customers have quotes in their campaign name for example the Adwords API does not properly quote that field:

In the file attached you can see that e.g. time zone has proper quotes:

"timezone info", x , y , z, campaign name with " in it

Is it possible to generate files from API as per RFC4180 standard:

  5.  Each field may or may not be enclosed in double quotes (however
       some programs, such as Microsoft Excel, do not use double quotes
       at all).  If fields are not enclosed with double quotes, then
       double quotes may not appear inside the fields.

 If double-quotes are used to enclose fields, then a double-quote
       appearing inside a field must be escaped by preceding it with
       another double quote.  For example:


Any ideas or do we need to reparse the csvs?

Hi,

Thank you for contacting support. However, your concern appears to be out of scope as it is about handling the output data in your client library.

That being said, could you provide which client library you are using so I can suggest which library owners you can get in touch with for further assistance?

Best regards,
Peter
