Code:
sed 's/\"/\\\"/g' a.csv >> a_tmp.csv
mv a_tmp.csv a.csv



Using the above

aaa,aaa,aaaaaa,aaaaaaaaa,aaaaaaaaaaa,"aaaaaaaaaaa (in CSV)

is seen as the following in notepad


aaa,aaa,aaaaaa,aaaaaaaaa,aaaaaaaaaaa,\"aaaaaaaaaaa (in CSV)


And in the excel sheet also it looks like the following:

aaa,aaa,aaaaaa,aaaaaaaaa,aaaaaaaaaaa,\"aaaaaaaaaaa (in excel)

But I want the following in excel sheet:

aaa,aaa,aaaaaa,aaaaaaaaa,aaaaaaaaaaa,"aaaaaaaaaaa (in excel)


The problem is that it seems a property of excel to put everything between 2 double quotes in one field or if a field value bigins with a single double quote, it automatically ends that field with a double quote as well or puts all rows after it into one field.

I think I might have found the solution though. If so, I will post it shortly. thanks again for your help.

Text::CSV::Encoded::Coder::EncodeGuess(3pm)		User Contributed Perl Documentation	       Text::CSV::Encoded::Coder::EncodeGuess(3pm)

NAME
Text::CSV::Encoded::Coder::EncodeGuess - Text::CSV::Encoded coder class using Encode::Guess SYNOPSIS
use Text::CSV::Encoded coder_class => 'Text::CSV::Encoded::Coder::EncodeGuess'; use Spreadsheet::ParseExcel; my $csv = Text::CSV::Encoded->new(); $csv->encoding( ['ucs2', 'ascii'] ); # guessing ucs2 or ascii? $csv->encoding_to_combine('shiftjis'); my $excel = Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Workbook->Parse( $file ); my $sheet = $excel->{Worksheet}->[0]; for my $row ( $sheet->{MinRow} .. $sheet->{MaxRow} ) { my @fields; for my $col ( $sheet->{MinCol} .. $sheet->{MaxCol} ) { my $cell = $sheet->{Cells}[$row][$col]; push @fields, $cell->{Val}; } $csv->combine( @fields ) or die; print $csv->string, " "; } DESCRIPTION
This module is inherited from Text::CSV::Encoded::Coder::Encode. USE
Except for 2 attributes, same as Text::CSV::Encoded::Coder::Encode. encoding_in $csv = $csv->encoding_in( $encoding_list_ref ); The accessor to an encoding for pre-parsing CSV strings. If no encoding is given, returns current $encoding, otherwise the object itself. $encoding_list_ref = $csv->encoding_in() When you pass a list reference, it might guess the encoding from the given list. $csv->encoding_in( ['shiftjis', 'euc-jp', 'iso-20022-jp'] ); If it cannot guess the encoding, the first encoding of the list is used. encoding $csv = $csv->encoding( $encoding_list_ref ); $encoding_list_ref = $csv->encoding(); You can pass a list reference to this attribute only: * For list data consumed by combine(). * For list reference returned by getline(). In other word, in "combine" and "print", it might guess an encoding for the passing list data. If it cannot guess the encoding, the first encoding of the list is used. SEE ALSO
