> Create a 'SplitCSV' processor
> -----------------------------
>
> Key: NIFI-3503
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-3503
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Wesley L Lawrence
> Priority: Minor
>
> While the 'SplitText' processor helps break up newline separated records into
> individual files, it's not uncommon to have CSV files where records span
> multiple lines, and 'SplitText' isn't able or meant to handle this.
> Currently, one can replace, remove, or escape newline characters that exist
> in a single CSV record by searching within quoted columns with 'ReplaceText',
> before passing the data onto 'SplitText'. However, this may not work in all
> cases, or could potentially remove the valid newline character at the end of
> a CSV record, if all edge cases aren't properly covered with regex.
> Having a dedicated 'SplitCSV' processor will solve this problem, and be a
> simpler approach for users.
