[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SANDBOX-182?page=comments#action_12456602 ] Yonik Seeley commented on SANDBOX-182: --------------------------------------
I did a number of tests with my current version of Excel. save as "csv" types do use commas, with double quotes as encapsulators, and do allow blank lines. Leading whitespace is output without encapsulation, so that is important to not ignore also. save as "text" types normally use tabs instead of commas. So I think the excel separator should definitely be changed to ',' with the rest of the strategy left as-is. > Excel strategy separator error > ------------------------------ > > Key: SANDBOX-182 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SANDBOX-182 > Project: Commons Sandbox > Issue Type: Bug > Components: CSV > Reporter: Yonik Seeley > Priority: Minor > > CSVStrategy.EXCEL_STRATEGY uses a semicolon as the separator. > When I open Excel and do a save-as to CSV file, it comes out as comma > separated. > Is this a simple typo??? Anyone know the history behind the Excel strategy? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
