Roger Whitcomb commented on CSV-102:
------------------------------------
@Emmanuel: we're using this in a generic data import wizard, where who knows
what the user might throw at us. We're using CSV to parse the file based on
"whatever" delimiters they might tell us are present. The "nonstandard.patch"
contains a small (admittedly contrived) example, but hopefully indicative of
weird stuff we'd like to be able to handle. Thanks.
> Commons CSV does not properly handle record separators
> ------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CSV-102
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CSV-102
> Project: Commons CSV
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.x
> Environment: ALL
> Reporter: Oliver Oyston
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: Changes.patch, nonstandard.patch
>
>
> Any specified record separator appear to be ignored and the code just assumes
> that standard line endings are the record delimiters.
> I have a patch to partly address the problems that 'falls back' to the
> current behavior. The patch only allow a maximum of a one character record
> separator.
> The approach needs verifying and also needs improving to be more generic.
