Sebb commented on LANG-374:
---------------------------
The Lang-374-escapeCsv-v2.patch is different from my previous suggested
addition, in that it allows the escape character (normally double-quote) to be
specified. My patch was to allow the delimiter - field separator - (comma) to
be specified.
Probably both are useful, because spreadsheets allow both to be specified when
importing data.
Unfortunately the patch is broken, because it does not check whether the escape
character is present in the string ;-)
I've already reworked my patch to rename the method, and to use the
containsNone fix already applied (by the way, much neater than my version).
I'll add an optional escape character to the mix, and upload shortly.
