Rob Peime commented on CSV-135:
-------------------------------
Not a bug.
Based upon your expected/desired output, the way you are adding values to your
List<String> is incorrect.
Your expected output shows that you intended to have 3 values, each 2 chars
long: a backslash followed by a quote, a backslash followed by an n, and 2
backslashes).
But when adding values to your list, you have only added a single char for each
of the three values: a quote, a linefeed, and a forward slash.
I can confirm that escaping your input string literals give the desired output.
> Char escape doesn't work
