Hi,

I need to write a number of empty quoted fields in a CSV export. The receiving application will complain about missing quotes for empty text fields... (don't ask, I've done all the eye rolling for you already)

My frst attempt was:

writer addConstantField: '""'.


But this doesn't write the quotes - I really don't see why, but it's the case.

Also, adding

writer addObjectField: [:a| '""'].


doesn't really work, because it will literally add the double quotes between single quotes... (???)



Do I really have to implement some method that returns an empty String on my business objects and use:

writer addQuotedField: #justAnEmptyString. ?

Am I missing some switch to enable quotes for empty quoted fields?

My version of NeoCSVWriter on VA Smalltalk is not actually a current one...



Joachim

And, btw: Happy Holidays to all of you and a Happy new Year!
