Thanks to some fantastic bug reports (especially Rogan Creswick who submitted two patches, three unit tests and supporting test files… Wow! Now that’s living the open source dream. Gold star effort) - opencsv 1.3 is now available on

Sourceforge for your comma-separated pleasure.

This release fixes numerous problems with handling embedded double-quote characters using Excel-style escaping (where “” represents an escaped embedded quote). Turns out the rules for this get pretty tricky when you have strings like “””””” which represents an embedded empty quoted string (sheesh!).

Many thanks to the punters who keep posting patches and unit tests. You guys are awesome.
