Description deangrim 2004-02-24 04:33:15 UTC
I am using a web application that exports a csv file. e.g. (cut and pasted from
the file but with some edits to change the content. The CR/LF's are present in
the export)

==== end snip ====

When importing into MS Excel all the values end up in the correct columns and
rows. When importing into OO values are all over the place. It appears the
import is confused by the CR/LF and/or the commas appearing between the text
delimiters (ie quotes, ")

I have not been able to try this on other OS versions.

Hi,

please attach a file which causes your problem to appear. This will make it much
easier to track the problem down to it's roots.

A quote of such will not sufficent because we do not know that all of the
characters, printable and non-printable are carried over.

This is a duplicate of bug 834, filed Mon Apr 30 20:53:00 -0800 2001.  It's an
old bug, and there are a lot of duplicate bug reports.  Any chance we can get
this higher on the 'to-do' list?  It's creating some serious headaches here.

Same problem as issue 834.
