How to handle a comma in a field in CSV file during FCC ?

Question

Hi,
I am having a requirement where we have to convert a CSV file into XML using File Content Conversion . The issue is one of the field in the file is having a comma inside. So the XML parser is taking it as a field separator and throwing an error.
The contents of the file are as follows:
"02975859","New Key","9","Failed, rejected by RTI server"
How to handle a comma inside field "Failed, rejected by RTI server".
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards

Hi ,
You have to write an java mapping programm to perdromance this task , in a estandar way i think is not possible , because the fiel adapter have just one option for the delimiter character.
Here's some code that could help you
Supouse a file in this way:
1,rahul,siemens,mumbai
2,consultant,12032005
1,viswanath,sisl,hyderabad
