Hi,

note: i open the saved file using notepad and this is when i see the extra quotes
Does the 'certain text' contain commas by any chance?
Remember what the dormouse said

no but it does contain quotes..........i think i just read that if a cell of data contains commas or quotes then when you save it as a csv file quotes get added at beginning and end of cell data...........have not verified this though..........
is there anyway around this?
Are you opening the .csv in excel?
Thanks,

As long as the text never contains commas, you could write some code to output the sheet to a CSV, although I think this is pretty standard behaviour.
sorry for not responding until now i was out of town..........
i am not reading in the csv file with excel i am reaing in the csv file using notepad.........
what i found as a fix is to remove the double quote and replace them with single quote and things worked fine.
thanks again.
