------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Oct 7 10:27:11 +0000 2008 ------- Researching this further, it seems that there is some disagreement amongst CSV supporting applications as to whether '\' can be used as an escape character. Certainly, the application generating the CSV files that first caused me to notice the problem considers the backslash as a legitimate escape character. Given that there was no official standard prior to RFC4180, and a number of alternative representations have already gained widespread adoption, should OO not provide some level of support for these alternative representations even if they're not strictly correct? Failing that, perhaps a more extensive entry in the help files describing the problem I encountered? Incidentally, I'm fairly certain that Office 2007 (and possibly earlier versions) handles the backslash escape character 'correctly'. It may be worth making the OO CSV import more forgiving purely for the sake of greater compatibility - or at least perceived compatibility - with MS Office. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
