Introduction and help with issue #2071

[Vani Gupta]

Hi I am Vani! I am a freshman majoring in computer science and I am working on the issue TSV export escapes double quotes (") unnecessarily ". When I add a cell with double quotes however I see no changes or errors while exporting to TSV. I am not able to understand how to reproduce this error.
I added comme "braille mental" and I see this exactly when I upload and create the project on openrefine. Can someone help me understand the issue ?
Thanks

Hi Vani,

As the issue mentions it is about TSV export, not TSV import. Looking at your screenshot, it seems that you are experimenting with the importer instead.

Best,

Antonin

Hi Antonin! Thanks for pointing that out. I have tried exporting the values in tsv and I had some doubts
a) the feature request is to escape (",`,') ie. append these characters with " in a field value.
However, the issue heading on github is "tsv export escapes the double quotes unnecesarily". Does this feature request mean the same thing in both places? I was a little confused with the wording
b) Do you think I should change code in CSV exporter.java file or should I make another TSV exporter file.

Hi Vani,

a) the feature request is to avoid escaping of some characters in some situations, as the title suggests. Is there a particular sentence in the body of the issue which makes you think otherwise?

b) the changes should be made to the existing exporter.

Thanks,

Antonin

Hi 

I made a pull request yesterday but I forgot to write tests so I committed again but I am not able to open a pull request again for my second pull request so do I need to make another branch for the second commit?

Thanks,

Vani

You don't need to create a new branch. Push the new work you have done and it'll synchronize with the current PR
