Summary | 2003: Reports plugin produces line breaks in exported comments (cvs) | ||||
Description | This is a report about: https://github.com/RackTables/racktables-contribs/tree/master/ If there is a line break in comments in Rack Tables, it breaks the exported csv. | ||||
Steps To Reproduce | Have a comment over multiple lines. Use the export to cvs function in the reports function: the csv contains line breaks, which makes it hard to import in Excel sheets. | ||||
Tags | No tags attached. | ||||
@infrastation: sorry for the "noise" here in the bugtracker about the plugin code. But I got this as report (and want to work on it) - but did not find the "issue" tab in the corresponding (racktables-contribs) Github repository. Feel free to assign this issue here to me directly. I will work on it and update the status here later. |

Oh, well, OK. I don't remember if CSV allows newlines at all, you might have to use < br > or some other substitute to make it correct. Please take your time. Let's see what to do about issue tracking if there are more of them. |
|
@lrupp: I had trouble importing CSV files with newlines to Excel, but Libre Office is fine with newlines in CSV. So, i suppose newlines are generally supported in CSV. |
|
There is no single definition of CSV, but there are multiple implementations. As another example, LibreOffice happily opens a UTF-8 CSV file without BOM, and Excel both requires and writes BOM in UTF-8 CSV files. So if you want to change the code, please remember to specify exactly what your use case is (and maybe test other implementations if you can). |
