| I am trying to create a SSIS package with a csv flat file for the both the destination and source. I cannot control the source file. I need to be able to handle an extra comma in the source file which occasionally contains suffixes i.e. {John, Smith, Jr,} which could cause some records to be 9 fields and others 10. Any ideas? |

| When you encounter an extra comma, is it enclosed in quotes or other delimiter? For example, most systems that export CSV file will do it in this fashion:123456789,John,"Smith, JR",999/555-1234If you have no such luck, you may be forced into using a script component to try to create an intelligent parser to pull out the data correctly. hthTim |
