---------------------------------------
Summary: CSVReader shouldn't require that an escape character be
defined
Key: NIFI-4242
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-4242
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.3.0
Reporter: Wesley L Lawrence
Priority: Minor
There are situations where, when parsing a CSV file, one doesn't want to define
an escape character. For example, when using quote character ", the following
is valid CSV;
{code}
a,"""b",c
{code}
The second column should be interpreted as "b. But when Apache Commons CSV is
told that there's an escape character, the above row is invalid (interestingly,
if it was """b""", it would be valid as "b").
There are known formats that Apache Commons CSV provides, that doesn't define
escape characters either.
