---------------------------------------
Hi Oleg,
Thanks for the fixes.
I don't necessarily agree with your thought process.
- I think a power user should have the option not to escape the content of the
attribute.
- I think a regular user trying to simply convert a csv to a json shouldn't
have to worry about the content of his csv, and if the input is a$$$2$a1$$a,b ,
he will expect the json { "csv.1":"a$$$2$a1$$a", "csv.2":"b" }
I'm not the one programming it so it's tough, but what about that option?
Thanks,
Stephane

> Key: NIFI-1915
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-1915
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core Framework
> Affects Versions: 0.6.1
> Reporter: Stephane Maarek
> Assignee: Oleg Zhurakousky
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 1.0.0, 0.7.0

>
> I think the biggest issue is that the text inside of an attribute isn't
> properly escaped when written to a String, which brings conflict when the
> text contains dollar signs ($)
> That's a big roadblock for me as I can't predict if and when some $ signs may
> be present in the data
> An easy way to reproduce is to take the csv to json template here:
> https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/download/attachments/57904847/CsvToJSON.xml?version=1&modificationDate=1442927496000&api=v2
>
> In the first ReplaceText, replace a,b,c,d by a$a,b,c,d (it simulates data
> that may or may not contain a $ sign)
> Launch the flow, you'll see the errors / warning / infinite loop
