Thanks for providing the solution. I have tried it out but the generated CSV file is not getting generated properly. It is splitting most of the content in the newlines in the CSV file and coming in a single column.

And that is what it should look like when viewing as a plain text file. Now take a closer look at where all the quotes are located. CSV allows embedden newlines, which is what you asked for. CSV doe not support display properties, like OpenOffice, LibreOffice, Excel and other Spreadsheet GUI's do. It is plain text with control characters: EOL/EOR (end-of-line/end-of-record), SEP (separator), QUO (Quotation), and ESC (escape). Read the specs if you do not (yet) understand.

A CSV parser (also builtin into spreadsheet GUI's) should be able to understand the structure and show you the data as you intended it to be.

I start to suspect that you do not want CSV, but pre-formatted output in columns. That is not what CSV is for.


Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn
