P.s. in the above quagmire, the only solution is choose to keep only the most important un-clean column per csv, and make it the last column in the file so you have predictable columns. If you need more, then write separate csvs. Computers are stupid.

If you could choose the column order, you could choose a better format, or at least escape correctly.
