[jira] [Commented] (CSV-56) Do not use exotic escape characters for sequences like \r or \n
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CSV-56?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanelfocusedCommentId=13877134#comment-13877134 ] Gary Gregory commented on CSV-56: - Should the CSVFormat throw an exception if you set special escapes as escapes? We can relax this later. That would help pause this issue to release 1.0. Do not use exotic escape characters for sequences like \r or \n --- Key: CSV-56 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CSV-56 Project: Commons CSV Issue Type: Improvement Components: Parser Reporter: Emmanuel Bourg Priority: Minor Fix For: 1.0 The parser is able to recognize escape sequences like \r and \n, and transform them automatically. But if the format is changed to use another escape character like !, the parser will also replace !n and !r, which is rather unusual. The replacement should be independent from the escape character defined in the format. This escape character should only be used to escape a delimiter, a quote or a line separator. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.5#6160)

Sequences such as \r and \n are used to encode characters that cannot easily be expressed in a string. This is different from the need to prevent meta-characters from being treated as such, as in regular expresssions where . is a meta-character and \. is a literal .. The Javadoc needs to be very clear on exactly what the escape character is used for.
