gets the EOF-implicitly-closes-unquoted-field feature to work too, and
successfully parses the CSV snippet in the original comment in the same way as
Excel.
I am not sure whether this should be activated by the same flag
(allowTrailingText) as my PR, or whether it should be a separate setting users
can toggle on and off. [~ggregory]?
> Handle malformed CSV files
> --------------------------

> Key: CSV-141
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CSV-141
> Project: Commons CSV
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: Parser
> Affects Versions: 1.0
> Reporter: Nguyen Minh
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 1.x
>
>
> My java application has to handle thousands of CSV files uploaded by the
> client phones everyday. So, there some CSV files have the wrong format which
> I'm not sure why.
> Here is my sample CSV. Microsoft Excel parses it correctly, but both Common
> CSV and OpenCSV can't parse it. Open CSV can't parse line 2 (due to '\'
> character) and Common CSV will crash on line 3 and 4:
> "1414770317901","android.widget.EditText","pass sem1 _84*|*","0","pass sem1
> _8"
> "1414770318470","android.widget.EditText","pass sem1 _84:*|*","0","pass sem1
> _84:\"
> "1414770318327","android.widget.EditText","pass sem1
> "1414770318628","android.widget.EditText","pass sem1 _84*|*","0","pass sem1
> Line 3: java.io.IOException: (line 5) invalid char between encapsulated token
> and delimiter
> at org.apache.commons.csv.CSVParser$1.getNextRecord(CSVParser.java:398)
> at org.apache.commons.csv.CSVParser$1.hasNext(CSVParser.java:407)
> Line 4: java.io.IOException: (startline 5) EOF reached before encapsulated
> token finished
