The CSV input connector uses the OpenCSV library and requires very little configuration. The are a pair of settings which you should review

<optionDelimeter>^</optionDelimeter>

and

<csvOptions>separator=,^quote="</csvOptions>

In the <csvOptions>separator=,^quote="</csvOptions> element you will see that 2 values are set, separator and quote. These 2 settings are separated by a delimiter which happens to be **^** in this example. However if by some unfortunate coincedence your CSV file uses that character as a value separater then you might need to use a different delimited in the configuration - which is where the `<optionDelimeter>^</optionDelimeter>` can be used.

NOTE that if you don't want a quote character this should be represented as shown below with _none_ used as the value.

<csvOptions>separator=,^quote=none</csvOptions>
