Bug ID: 118007
Summary: CSV-like files backslash escapes are imported
technically correct, but unworkable - a "accept
backslash as an escape" option would be nice.
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 4.3.3.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
Some programs (e.g. MySQL) escape double quotes with backslashes, ignoring RFC
4180 2/7.
Libreoffice import is working technically correctly on these files, but the
result is "broken" for a layman who exports "CSV" and then imports "CSV".
An option to enable backslash-escaped double quotes (simply replace all
backslash+double quote with double quote+double quote?) would be verynice.
Steps to Reproduce:
Import this CSV-like file as CSV:
"test1","OK"
"test2","Kinda \" OK"
"test3","Problematic \""
"test4","behaviour"
Actual Results:
Three lines imported, line 3 has 3 fields.
Expected Results:
Four lines imported, all lines have 2 fields.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
