<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">“CSV files have one line for each feature (record) in the layer (table). The attribute field values are separated by commas. At least two fields per line must be present. Lines may be terminated by a DOS (CR/LF) or Unix
(LF) style line terminators. Each record should have the same number of fields. The driver will also accept a semicolon, a tabulation or a space character as field separator . This autodetection will work only if there’s no other potential separator on the
first line of the CSV file. </span>Otherwise it will default to comma as separator.”<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">” This driver does not attempt to support all such files, but instead to support simple .csv files that can be auto-recognised. Scripts or other mechanisms can generally be used to convert other variations into a form
that is compatible with the OGR CSV driver.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I guess that it is easiest to convert your separator into comma or semicolon and hope that they do not appear in the text. Otherwise you may need to add some double quotes as well.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
