Description Cristian Oneț 2010-12-23 17:27:27 UTC 
Version:           SVN trunk (using KDE 4.5.4) 
OS:                Linux

I have some CSV statements in which the detail field contains newline characters (the detail is multilined). In open office I can handle importing the CSV by using the Text delimiter option (" in my case). It would be nice to have it also in the CSV importer plugin.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
try to import a filed like "bla bla
more bla bla"

Actual Results:  
you can't

Expected Results:  
the field should be imported with the newline character in case of the memo and stripped of the newline in case of a payee

Shame that I've used readline(). :(

It would help for test purposes, if you could let me have (offline) a specimen file.  Presumably, the usual delimiters still apply?
