Hello,
I am trying Text::CSV_XS working with data with embedded newlines.
French sep-char is ';'.
I try to give you hereafter my problem context using a on line csv file. Actually, the bug.csv in the exemple has just one "element" including an embedded new line which makes finally a 2 lines file:
Line 1: a;b;c;d;"e
Line 2: f"
I got a "EIQ - Quoted field not terminated" error. So I changed to Text::CSV_PP, and it works (at least as I was expected).
So I suspect there is a bug in CSV_XS::getline. But I may also not be using the module as you may require. Just tell me.
Thanks for the module.
