TextFieldParser.HasFieldsEnclosedInQuotes Property
Denotes whether fields are enclosed in quotation marks when parsing a delimited file.
' Usage
Dim value As Boolean = TextFieldParserObject.HasFieldsEnclosedInQuotes
' Declaration
Public Property HasFieldsEnclosedInQuotes As Boolean
Property Value
Boolean.
Remarks
This is an advanced member; it does not show in IntelliSense unless you click the All tab.
If the property is True, the parser assumes that fields are enclosed in quotation marks (" ") and may contain line endings.
If a field is enclosed in quotation marks, for example, abc, "field2a,field2b", field3 and this property is True, then all text enclosed in quotation marks will be returned as is; this example would return abc|field2a,field2b|field3. Setting this property to False would make this example return abc|"field2a|field2b"|field3.
Example

FileReader.TextFieldType = Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO.FieldType.Delimited
FileReader.Delimiters = New String() {","}
FileReader.CommentTokens = New String() {""}
