Henri Yandell updated SANDBOX-161:
----------------------------------
Fix Version/s: CSV 1.0
> CSVPrinter#escapeAndQuote(String) doesn't adhere to CSV standard
> ----------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SANDBOX-161
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SANDBOX-161
> Project: Commons Sandbox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: CSV
> Affects Versions: Nightly Builds
> Reporter: Daniel Gredler
> Fix For: CSV 1.0
>
> Attachments: commons-csv-patch-standard-escaping.txt
>
>
> All the descriptions of the CSV format that I've seen state that:
> - Double quotes (") are escaped using two double quotes (""), rather than a
> backslash (\").
> - Embedded line breaks are allowed and don't need to be escaped... just
> enclose the field in double quotes.
> - Because backslashes are not used to escape double quotes or line breaks,
> the backslashes themselves do not need to be escaped.
> CSVPrinter#escapeAndQuote(String) breaks these rules. Why?
