Hi Bettina, 1 4 u Frank The "\n inside fields" seems to be double to issue 7370. \n inside fields is a duplicate of 834. I'm adding this here rather than as a separate issue since it seems to be related. It would be good if there was an "ignore blank lines" option when importing CSV and related (other delimeters and fixed-width) files. Cheers, Ian. enhanced summary, set keywords and reassigned issue according to RFE process Duplicate of another issue that is already solved. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 834 *** Closing. |
Hello, I'd like to process foreign CSV data files that have the property of lines separated with line feeds ("\n"), and which have multiline text fields within a line where the lines within such a field are separated with a carriage return ("\r"). It would be nice if OpenOffice could read and write such files properly instead of ignoring the difference between \n and \r and thus break the lines. Some more options to the import and export dialogue would be required. Alternatively, the possibility to specify import and export filters for files, lines, and cells, would be nice where the filters should be specifiable as eg. Perl scripts. Thanks!
