------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Aug 8 13:27:41 +0000 2007 ------- Sir, Let us be clear on one thing. I am discussing the existing behaviour of Calc. What I want is not an enhancement or new way to handle CSV files, I merely want the handling to be consistent, and to reflect what I have in the file reasonably accurately. I discovered an inconsistency in the current behaviour, and reported it. The examples and screenshots I have given are not wishful thinking on my part as to how CSV files should be read in. Calc actually does read these files in in this way, up to a point. Therefore my observations about quoted string behaviour (only the first string gets converted) is ACTUALLY WHAT HAPPENS, and not something I made up in my head. > Else, how should this be handled: > ,"abc" d "ef", > IS the FIELD actually: > 1. 'abc" d "ef' AND the application forgot to double the QUOTES > (valid assumption) > 2. 'abc d ef' - my view - CONSISTENT HANDLING > 3. 'abc d "ef"' - your view - the least consistent of these 4 methods This is not my view, it is actually what happens in Calc and Excel. If you don't believe me, please try it yourself. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
