Import CSV with UTF8-BOM stream position problem
Last modified: 2013-08-07 15:13:10 UTC
I'm developping an application that passes around a CSV file in UTF8 format with the ';' value delimiter (so it open on Excel for our customers). I tried opening it in Calc (I must choose UTF8 character set and check the ';' delimiter) and it leaves the double quotes that means it's a Text value, but only for the very first cell (so the cell values can contain the character used as delimiter in the file). I do not know what could cause this, maybe an error parsing the first character or something to do with UTF8. I will attach the file that shows the problem.
Created attachment 58785 [details] The file which shows the problem. Look at the first cell in the top left corner and you will see it still has double quotes surrounding it.
Looks like this is due to the <ef bb bf> UTF8-BOM that seems not to be handled correctly by the stream positioner.
Isn't this the same as issue 89314?
Yes, it is. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 89314 ***
