Importing a CSV using SFTP and double quotation marks to isolate the data

Hi, this is a bit of an odd question but will do my best to ask it.

I have a CSV file i am pulling for a SFTP, the file is in a CSV format and pulls the headers and first cell but it stops.

After each comma the data is wrapped in double quotation marks, for example:

12328354,"User Name","1","Company Brand, Town"

from that example the last element of data has a comma within the quotation marks but is one cell of data.

Is there a connector i can use to get this importing?

Thanks

Rob

    HI @trafalger, I have worked out that I can use the CSV advanced connector, I can use a http csv or sftp connector within that, in the configuration I can then set it to allow the double quotations and commas within the quotations will not be processed.

    Thanks

    How are you pulling it now? Manually? Could you use the SFTP connector?
