You probably just need to add DOS-style end-of-line markers (CRLF rather than LF) - check if you have unix2dos on your system, or use tr/sed.

If that doesn't work, you need to post a sample of your csv file.

That certainly is not a .csv file. A .csv file is values separated by commas (or semicolons). Please show us that file and how you create it on the *nix side.

It is a strange file because most programs will ignore the commas in between quotes.
Code:
unix2dos -n infile outfile

or
Code:
sed 's/$'"/`echo \\\r`/" infile > outfile

will convert the end of line characters from UNIX type to DOS however.

Just curious, it seems that your original Unix based file is not a CSV file at all and actually has
Code:
|_|

as the delimiter? If so, that changes things a bit with the approach needed.
