java - CSVReader cannot read a line correctly -

i have .csv file 12 columns , read file csvreader class.

list<string[]> rows = reader.readall(); 

but found string[] have less 12 elements. when debugged, found csv text format problem.

there 2 problems:

1. some columns end backslash.

   for example, "column content\", "column b content" read 1 column \" seen escape character.

2. some cells' contents have \" in them.

   for example, in 1 row, column a's content command line: "d -r u+rwx \""${mytmp}\"" > /dev/null 2>&1; rm -fr \""${mytmp}\"" >"

so cannot think of replacement strategy deal format problem. (e.g replace \ \\, works "contenta\","contentb" situation, don't work \" when cell's content )

any suggestions? welcome discuss bad formatting problems , solutions experienced in csv files reader has problem reading correctly.

i think if replace \", \\", solve problem. unix command lines not contain , character right after \". yo may have extend \", " \\", " or maybe adding whitespaces.

a special case when last column ends, \"<nl> should replaced \\"<nl> <nl> whatever line delimiter have (\r\n, \r or \n)
