excel - VBA date double quotation mark gives triple quotation mark -


i have strange problem excel vba code. have date string column in csv spreadsheet wrap around in double quotation marks. wrote vba script in excel achieve this. however, everytime run script, date string output wrapped in 3 sets of double quotation marks instead of one.

i this:

"""2015-11-11 00:00:00.40""",59845,-0.20375,3.447,2.0135,32.08286,12,32,11.6 

instead of this:

"2015-11-11 00:00:00.40",59845,-0.20375,3.447,2.0135,32.08286,12,32,11.6 

where going wrong? have tried using char(34) , chr(34) represent " has not helped. here script:

    sub quotations() ' ' quotations macro '  ' dim strfile string     strfile = dir("e:\copy\*.csv")      ' create new workbook , assign variable     dim wb workbook       while len(strfile) > 0     set wb = workbooks.add     windows("personal.xlsb").activate     wb.activate     activesheet.querytables.add(connection:= _         "text;e:\copy\" + strfile, destination:= _         range("$a$1"))         .name = "e:\copy\" + strfile         .fieldnames = true         .rownumbers = false         .filladjacentformulas = false         .preserveformatting = true         .refreshonfileopen = false         .refreshstyle = xlinsertdeletecells         .savepassword = false         .savedata = true         .adjustcolumnwidth = true         .refreshperiod = 0         .textfilepromptonrefresh = false         .textfileplatform = 850         .textfilestartrow = 1         .textfileparsetype = xldelimited         .textfiletextqualifier = xltextqualifierdoublequote         .textfileconsecutivedelimiter = false         .textfiletabdelimiter = false         .textfilesemicolondelimiter = false         .textfilecommadelimiter = true         .textfilespacedelimiter = false         .textfilecolumndatatypes = array(2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1)         .textfiletrailingminusnumbers = true         .refresh backgroundquery:=false     end     range("j1").select     activecell.formular1c1 = "=chr(34)&rc[-9]&chr(34)"     range("j2").select     columns("j:j").columnwidth = 23.57     range("j1").select     selection.autofill destination:=range("j1:j864000")     range("j1:j864000").select     selection.copy     columns("a:a").select     selection.pastespecial paste:=xlpastevalues, operation:=xlnone, skipblanks _         :=false, transpose:=false     columns("j:j").select     application.cutcopymode = false     selection.delete shift:=xltoleft     'activewindow.smallscroll down:=-6      activeworkbook.saveas filename:= _         "e:\copy\quotes\" + strfile, fileformat:= _         xlcsv, createbackup:=false     activewindow.close savechanges:=false     strfile = dir     loop  end sub 

what doing wrong? in advance help.

from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/comma-separated_values

"fields containing line-break, double-quote, and/or commas should quoted"

when save modified file csv, excel sees quotes added , adds quotes around fields. when doubles-up quotes added escape them (so not interpreted field quotes program parsing saved file)

if re-open csv file in excel you'll see parsed correctly, , single set of quotes added displayed.
