------------------------------------------
Summary: Excel export CSV escaping - can't be handled with
standard block escape
Key: DAFFODIL-1923
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAFFODIL-1923
Project: Daffodil
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Back End
Affects Versions: 2.1.0
Reporter: Michael Beckerle
Fix For: 2.2.0
Excel spreadsheet looks like this:
|1|2|This is "some fun" now|3
When exported to CSV, this is created
{code}
1,2,"This is ""some fun"" now",3
{code}
Notice the quotations around the string, and the doubling of the quotes inside
the string as an escaping mechanism.
One would think that an escape scheme with kind 'escapeBlock' with the block
start, block end, escape and escapeEscape all defined to be '"' (doublequote)
would work, but it does not.
Error message is a PE indicating "delimiter not found".
I am only 60% sure of this bug. It came up in a project using CSV data exported
from excel, but other complexities there may have been interacting.
Isolated test case is needed to really verify the behavior.
