DamjanJovanovic opened a new pull request, #295: URL: https://github.com/apache/commons-csv/pull/295
As per issue https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CSV-141 and based on what we did in Apache OpenOffice https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=126805 This adds a setting, allowTrailingText (for lack of a better name) that allows CSV fields to have trailing text after the closing quote, up to the next separator, which can contain anything except the separator character, and this extra text is appended as-is to the field contents (any further quoting is ignored). This is exactly how Excel behaves. As this is a non-standard setting with surprising behaviour, I've made it off by default. Only CSVFormat.EXCEL has it on by default. This doesn't fully fix CSV-141 yet as that has line ending issues too, but I'd like to investigate how Excel handles that first. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
