SSIS package row delimiter Issue

Hi,

I have a package that reads a file from a network ___location and inserts the data into a database. The data flow task includes four components:

  1. Flat File Source
  2. Derived Column to convert DT_NText to DT_WTSR
  3. Derived Column to convert DT_WTSR to DT_STR
  4. OLE DB Destination

The flat file source reads a delimited text file with a header row formatted as {CR}{LF} and a text qualifier of ".

I've added an error flow to log problematic data and process the remaining rows.

There is some bad data in the file I'm trying to load. Below is a sample of the data; the actual file contains millions of records:

BadData.png

The goal is to skip the bad data and process the remaining records. However, the package is failing at the flat file source component with the following error:

Error Description: The column delimiter for column "SubscriberKey" was not found.

Error Description: An error occurred while processing file "Subscribers.txt" on data row 3.
