How convert the csv to comma separated

fistname,lastname,street,description
Max,Huber,Street 1,"Max Huber, Street 1"

You have an idea how this makes? For converting in comma with inverted comma
(apostrophe)

Gregor,

If I understand your post correctly, you want to replace a ";" with a "," (without the quotes) in a text file.

Open the file with notepad. Click on edit, click replace. Put a ; in the find what box, and put a , in the replace with box. That should make the process easier for you.

Hi

I would like this with PowerShell, as Service

The CSV is a extract from a other resource

Split each line from the original CSV file on each ';', if any of the split strings matches a ',' surrounded it with double quotes and join all split strings back with a ','. Then set the modified content to the same, or to another, CSV file.
Also, if your encoding is not Unicode --PowerShell's default-- pass it to Get-Content and Set-Content statements through their -Encoding parameter.

# modifying same file, using Unicode encoding
$csvFile = <path to CSV file>
set-content $csvFile (get-content $csvFile |
% {[string]::join(',', ($_.split(';') |
% {if ($_ -match ',') {"`"$_`""} else {$_}}))})

# test it
import-csv $csvFile
