I think we should follow the description of CVS formats from here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma-separated_values which luckily mentions a specification: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4180
I think that means that we should - put quotes around the text fields. We do that already, using ' quotes, but we should use " quotes. - escape " as "". We don't do that now. - not escape ' as '' as we do now. - not escape newlines. We don't escape them now, but we need to change the import parser to not interpret these as the end of a record. - not escape ,. We don't do that now. I'll take a look and make import/export compliant with that RFC. -- Glom 1.8.7 - import crashes on bad input / export can't cope with , or " in text fields. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/394894 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
