Re: Best import approach? Delimiters in strings

Unfortunately my starting point is data in the format of that example line.
I hasn't spotted the lack of quotes on the first value. Given this format,
is my best bet to write a script transforming it pre-import to postgres?
I.e. are there no arguments I could pass to the import process to handle
this directly? Thanks
