cornel creanga created CSV-168:
----------------------------------
Summary: CsvFormat.nullString should not be escaped
Key: CSV-168
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CSV-168
Project: Commons CSV
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Parser
Affects Versions: 1.2
Reporter: cornel creanga
Priority: Minor
Hello,
Use case: I'm generating MySQL dump files (text format) - for more details
check this - http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/select-into.html.
Issue: The value null is represented as "\N". Also by default the escape char
is '\N'. The CsvPrinter.printAndEscape method will convert this value into
"\\N".
I suggest to modify the CsvPrinter in order to not escape the nullString value
- it should be written as it is. I can create a pull request if you want.
I consider it a minor issue because it can be mitigated by making sure that the
escape character is not a part of the nullString - however in my case it means
that the LOAD commands should be modified accordingly.
