  In CSV you do whatever the fuck you want, and afterwards you delete the file cause CSV is trash and no one should use it.

  Or use tsv or xsv and never quote a field again.

    Sometimes we don’t get to pick what libraries and data formats we work with.

    Especially with legacy systems and customer requirements.

      I know. I have nothing against the format in general, as it’s plain text and will always be readable. I actually prefer it to Excel sheets, although a proper database is the nicest. It’s just annoying that someone chose comma, a super commonly used punctuation mark, as default field separator for csv.
