Extract From File - RAW Data Option

Questions

Describe the problem/error/question

I am trying to understand how “Extract From File” is working with the RAW data option. In my understanding it would pretty much just give me a plain string of whatever is in the binary data - currently it is still displaying the data in columns.

My intend is to fix the issue with the not correctly quoted entry in row6.

What is the error message (if any)?

It fails at parsing?

@Manuel , as the file is broken CSV, to fix it up first you need to extract the content as a plain text file.

Hello there,

thanks - this is what I thought the raw data option would do. I switched it to “Text File” and have the “string” which I now will modify and later on pass as CSV again.
