Vladimir Eatwell commented on CSV-200:
--------------------------------------

Here's another case where the delimiter is ignored due to an escape character 
at the end of the first value:
{code}
    @Test
    public void parseFailure2() throws Exception {
        CSVFormat formatter = CSVFormat.EXCEL;
        formatter = formatter.withDelimiter(',');
        formatter = formatter.withQuote('"');
        formatter = formatter.withEscape('\\');
        formatter = formatter.withNullString("NULL");
        formatter = formatter.withIgnoreSurroundingSpaces(true);
        formatter = formatter.withQuoteMode(QuoteMode.MINIMAL);

        String formatted = formatter.format("bob\\", "token");
        List<CSVRecord> parsed = formatter.parse(new 
StringReader(formatted)).getRecords();
        for (CSVRecord record : parsed) {
            assertThat(record.size(), is(2));
        }
    }
{code}
