Gary Gregory commented on CSV-35:
---------------------------------
So, not addressing this means that we cannot deal with MySQL exports? That
seems harsh (for users).
It sounds like, for users, the way to tell [csv] about this is with a
withMySQLEol(boolean) option? Which would be a special case as Sebb mentioned.
> Escaped line separators are not supported

> Key: CSV-35
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CSV-35
> Project: Commons CSV
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Emmanuel Bourg
> Fix For: 1.0
>
>
> Commons CSV doesn't handle escaped line separators, for example:
> {code}
> value1;value2;value3a\
> value3b
> {code}
> In this case the expected result is:
> {code}["value1", "value2", "value3a\nvalue3b"]{code}
> This kind of escaping is produced by MySQL, whether the field enclosing is
> enabled or not. It's possible to see enclosing quotes and escaped line
> separators like this:
> {code}
> "value1";"value2";"value3a\
> value3b"
> {code}
