Sven,
hmm. The fields I need to write are known not to be written with my
application, so I am lloking for a way to define a field as being an
empty quoted field at all times.
So for I've tried:
addConstantField: nil --> Exception
addObjectFied: [:a| ] --> empty field without quotes
addConstantField: '' --> empty field without quotes
So it seems I have to implement some method on my business object that
returns nil and map it to all the fields that need to be empty and quoted.

Hi Joachim,
nil fields normally write as 'empty quoted fields':
String streamContents: [ :out | (NeoCSVWriter on: out) nextPut: #(nil nil nil)
].
=> '"","",""'
Is this not what you want/need ?

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...

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