# MetadataCSVPlug notes

### From GreenstoneWiki

- Ensure that excel has not quoted Filename and other field headings in the first line of your .csv metadata file.
  - The default behaviour on excel is to quote everthing, so you may need to inspect your .csv file with a text editor before ingest.
  - Quoted heading get passed through and you end up with build errors due to invalid XML
  - It's OK - and often necessary - for you actual data do be quoted

- if your .csv file is in the same folder as your files, then ensure you rename it so it is seen before all other files '0000metadata.csv' worked for me. Note: The default behaviour is to read files in order - so if your .csv file isn't read first you end up with two seperate records; one with metadata and no file, the other file and no metadata.
