Hello,

I've been exporting the Tweet and Agent tables as files from ORA. When I try to import the csv files, I get a lot of formatting issues that I have to clean up manually in an editor before I can work with the data. One big issue I've noticed is the Location field often has crazy formatting specifically with double quotes. This ends up splitting the field into two fields, in which case, some rows will have one more field than it should.

examples:
Sed Lex" #Colombia"

"Vancouver, Canada"

Best,

Charity

Dear Charity,

I have encountered the same issues. I was working on an e-mail with an example and lines numbers to send to the ORA development team when I saw this e-mail. What I have found works is to export the agent and particularly the tweet node tables as .tsv files. Because Twitter does not permit tabs as part of a character string, they are a safe delimiter.

Best Wishes,

Jonathan

Hi Charity,

This has been fixed and will be available in the next release of ORA.

Thanks,

Jeff
