------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Nov 28 12:30:56 +0000 2007 ------- Greetings All. The issue has been discussed in the ticket 31441 but I really would like to reopen the discussion. Let me describe my background a bit. I use a database application which exports data as CSV. I cannot change neither the DB nor the application in any way. There are several columns which contain user-entered text (without any constraints). There are chances that I can make the author of the application export better formed CSV. Which means backslash escaping As far as I know CSV there is a "tradition" to escape special characters with a "\". The tradition wich, unfortunately, OO does not obey. I suggest adding support for backslash-escaping in CSV filters (both import and export). PS. P2 because of data gets lost quite easyli. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
