Bug #271
closedCSV Import Problems
0%
Description
I have figured out why some users (see Bug #125, entries 4 & 5) cannot load CSV files and obtain a "new-line character seen" error. It turns out that you are assuming a Windows CSV file, which terminates lines with a CR/LF (0x0D/0x0A) character pair. Linux and Mac OSX terminate lines with just a CR (0x0D) character. If you adjust your code to accept both line terminations, things should start working for all the O/Ss.

I can't reproduce this. I'm on OS X and files with both newline formats open without issue.

I am running OS X 10.6.8 and Chirp20120730.app. Test1.csv loads in Chirp just fine, but Test2.csv provides the error (Test2Error.jpg).

Oops, for got to tell you that Test1.csv has CR/LF terminating the lines. While Test2.csv is the same as Test1, but only has CR terminating the lines.

Oh, I guess I didn't read carefully enough. I tried Windows and Unix newlines (\r\n and \n). This is old Mac format (\r). We should be able to support it...
