how can i change the text delimiter

[sonald]

Hi Amit,
Thanks for a quick response...
E.g record is: "askin"em"

This entire text is extracted as one string but since the qualifier is
double quotes("), therefore fastcsv parser is unable to parse it.

If we can change the text qualifier to pipe(|), then the string will
look like this:
|askin"em|

But for this the default text qualifier in fastcsv parser needs to be
changed to pipe(|). how to do this?

Also please note that the string cannot be modified at all. Thanks.
