Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Is there a way to handle commas inside the data when generating a csv file from shell script? Post 303029302 by Scrutinizer on Thursday 24th of January 2019 02:08:27 PM

Or perhaps:
Code:
set colsep '","'

And then run the output through sed to add the outer two double quotes:
Code:
sqlplus -s myuser/mypassword@mydb | sed 's/.*/"&"/' <<EOF
