> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.3.0
> Reporter: Wesley L Lawrence
> Priority: Minor

>
> There are situations where, when parsing a CSV file, one doesn't want to
> define an escape character. For example, when using quote character ", the
> following is valid CSV;
> {code}
> a,"""b",c
> {code}
> The second column should be interpreted as "b. But when Apache Commons CSV is
> told that there's an escape character, the above row is invalid
> (interestingly, if it was """b""", it would be valid as "b").
> There are known formats that Apache Commons CSV provides, that doesn't define
> escape characters either.
