Subject: [ruby-core:55778] [ruby-trunk - Bug #8599] CSV module - error when trying to set backslash as quote_char


Issue #8599 has been updated by lhm (Lars Mai).


Actually, I mistook quote_char for escape_char. Setting a backslash as quote_char is probably not a desired feature. I was looking for a way to escape double quotes differently than using two double quotes. Sorry for the noise.

Bug #8599: CSV module - error when trying to set backslash as quote_char

There may be a bug in the CSV module. I found it impossible to set the backslash as quote_char, trying so gives the following:

 1.9.3-p392 :055 > out = CSV.new($stdout, quote_char: "\\")
 RegexpError: premature end of char-class: /[^\]\[^\]/
 
I tried using Regexp.escape, too, but no luck:

 1.9.3-p392 :060 > out = CSV.new($stdout, quote_char: Regexp.escape("\\"))
 ArgumentError: :quote_char has to be a single character String
 
Is this expected behaviour? 

I'm not sure if it's related, but here the internal and external encodings:
 1.9.3-p392 :061 > Encoding.default_external
 => #<Encoding:UTF-8> 
 1.9.3-p392 :062 > Encoding.default_internal
 => nil

=end
