------------------------------

> Key: CSV-171
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CSV-171
> Project: Commons CSV
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Michael Graessle
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 1.5
>
>
> Negative Numeric values are always quoted in minimal mode if (and only if)
> they are in the first column.
> i.e.
> long,lat,data
> "-92.222",43.333,3
> Looking at the code, this is by design but seem to be for an unknown reason.
> From v1.2 CSVPrinter line 230:
> // TODO where did this rule come from?
> if (newRecord && (c < '0' || (c > '9' && c < 'A') || (c > 'Z' && c < 'a') ||
> (c > 'z'))) {
> quote = true;
> } else ...
>
> I propose this rule to either be remove or at a minimum be changed to:
> // TODO where did this rule come from?
> if (newRecord && (c !='-' && c < '0' || (c > '9' && c < 'A') || (c > 'Z' && c
> < 'a') || (c > 'z'))) {
> quote = true;
> } else ...
