Bug #: 48621
Summary: FILEOPEN: CSV: better handling of broken CSV files
with unescaped embedded quote delimiters
Classification: Unclassified
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: medium
Component: Spreadsheet
AssignedTo: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
ReportedBy: er...@redhat.com
CSV files not strictly following the CSV specification, regarding embedded
quotes inside a quoted field are to be doubled, easily trick the import into
not distributing following content as the generator intended it to be.
Implement some magic to detect and correct at least some of those cases to
prevent data loss.
Related:

and attachments.
Another test case mentioned there, originally from
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=80385
with attachments:
,"abc" d "ef",
currently results in
'abc d "ef"'
To not lose data it should result in
'abc" d "ef'
Doing so would also lead to
,"a"b, "a",
resulting in _one_ field
'a"b, "a'
and not two, 'ab' and ' "a"' like it is currently the case. This would then
differ from how Excel treats it, but would be more consistent.
