Hi All,
I was testing the functionality to use string delimiter and found the
following issue.
```
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception{
String row = "a||b||c||d";
StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();
try (CSVPrinter csvPrinter = new CSVPrinter(stringBuilder,
CSVFormat.EXCEL);
CSVParser csvParser = CSVParser.parse(new
StringInputStream(row), StandardCharsets.UTF_8,
CSVFormat.Builder.create().setDelimiter("||").build())) {
for (CSVRecord csvRecord : csvParser) {
for (int i = 0; i < csvRecord.size(); i++) {
csvPrinter.print(csvRecord.get(i));
}
System.out.println(stringBuilder.toString());
//Expected : a,b,c,d
// Actual : a,b|c,d
}
}
}
```
The actual value is different from expected, looks like the string delimiter
doesn't work as expected when there is an empty column.
Can some1 please confirm

> It's not uncommon that we use multiple-characters delimiter to separate
> columns in CVS: such as: [|]
> Sometimes, we have no choice as third-party defines the csv format like that.
> It would be great if apache commons.csv supports this function.
> I did some google search: seems there is no java library that supports use
> multiple-characters as the column separator.
> But the C# CsvHelper does
