It is common in csv to escape double quotes with double quotes. This does not work in tabular and I was unable to figure out any other mechanism. Replacing the first " with \ did not work and neither did using single quotes around the string. Is there a built in mechanism? The csv files in question come from Microsoft Excel but I tested with a csv from Gnumeric and see the same problem.
