CSV parsing with Commons CSV - Quotes within quotes causing IOException

The problem here is that the quotes are not properly escaped. Your parser doesn't handle that. Try univocity-parsers as this is the only parser for java I know that can handle unescaped quotes inside a quoted value. It is also 4 times faster than Commons CSV. Try this code:

//configure the parser to handle your situation
CsvParserSettings settings = new CsvParserSettings();
settings.setUnescapedQuoteHandling(STOP_AT_CLOSING_QUOTE);

//create the parser
CsvParser parser = new CsvParser(settings);

//parse your line
String[] out = parser.parseLine("116,6,2,29 Sep 10,\"\"JJ\" (60 min)\",\"http://www.tvmaze.com/episodes/4855/criminal-minds-6x02-jj\"");

for(String e : out){
    System.out.println(e);
}

This will print:

116
6
2
29 Sep 10
"JJ" (60 min)

Hope it helps.

You can use withEscape('\\') to ignore quotes within quotes

CSVFormat csvFormat = CSVFormat.DEFAULT.withEscape('\\')
