Eldar Agalarov updated CSV-165:
-------------------------------
Description:
Commons CSV with CSVFormat.RFC4180 writes empty 4-column records as
"",,,
instead of
,,,
It puts double quotes for first column, and no any chars for rest columns.
This behavior are not described in RFC specification. RFC spec. tells that only
if column contains double quotes, CRLF and comma then it should be escaped by
double quote. But there are no point to escape with double quotes empty value.
If i have, for example 5-column empty record then it should looks following:
,,,,
(four commas)
