Problem with APEX Data Loader 28.0.2

Hi,

 

I am attempting to load contacts data in SF and am i getting the following issue from data loader:

 

CSV Error: Invalid CSV file format. Please select a different file.
com.sforce.async.CSVReader$CSVParseException: Not expecting more text after end quote.

 

What does that mean exactly?

 

Thanks!

Hello, 

 

I usually use a program called Notepad++, and enable special characters in the menu, to see any hidden special characters which might have been added to the file. I will be able to help you inspect the file if you PM me.

Hello,

 

Please ckeck if there is any special character in any number field like ' or ; , also check if the CSV file's first two characters are in uppercase letters "I" and "D". If yes change it to "id" from ID.

I did not find anything related to it:

(ckeck if there is any special character in any number field like ' or ;)

The first two letters are "C" and "O"

Posting in case someone else finds this the same way I did.

I had this same issue.  I narrowed it down to a record with " in the value.  ex: ,"My "Special" Record",

Hi Gunish,  It is an old thread but I'd like to send a PM to explain my problem, I tried several solutions but something is still causing problem.
