[jira] [Commented] (CSV-235) WRONG Implementation for RFC4180
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CSV-235?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel=16864480#comment-16864480 ] Sebb commented on CSV-235: -- RFC4180 only supports 'escaping' for the DQ character. The DQ cannot be used to escape anything else, so is not an escape character in the normal sense. > WRONG Implementation for RFC4180 > -- > > Key: CSV-235 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CSV-235 > Project: Commons CSV > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Parser >Affects Versions: 1.6 >Reporter: Edward Xia >Priority: Major > > [https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4180#section-2] >7.
