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!
