Description drc 2004-02-26 12:46:39 UTC 
I have a .csv file with tabs separating fields, and commas within the fields.

I use commas to identify sub-fields (don't ask - it comes from something else)

When I ask the import filter to recognise both tabs and commas as field 
separators, it only recognises the tabs.

There is an obvious but messy work-around involving importing the file twice, 
so the defect is not a show-stopper.

Hi,

I've made a document containing tabs and commas mixed as separators and opened
this using OOo1.1 and 1.1.1rc and the separation works as expected. I attach my
document and when close this Issue as worksforme.
