Standards for CSV
Hi,

I'm just wondering, when making a CSV file - what are the general standards for newlines (\n)? Obviously they need to be replaced with something, as CSV's are read on a per-line basis - so any newlines would be treated as new lines of data.

At the moment, I'm just replacing it with a simple regex:

Code:
$field =~ s/\n/%N%/g;

...but I know the %N% option isn't much good, as the chances are it won't work with anything trying to import the CSV =)

Cheers
