Hi,
I see, Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma-separated_values
writes:
In some CSV implementations, leading and trailing spaces and tabs are
trimmed. This practice is controversial, and does not accord with RFC 4180,
which states "Spaces are considered part of a field and should not be
ignored.".
But right below that:
According to RFC 4180, spaces outside quotes in a field are not allowed
I think a "human parser" would trim spaces unless they are quoted.
Regards,
Thomas
