CSV_XS ERROR: 2023 EIF - CR char inside unquoted

Not knowing the Text::CSV module at all, I read the error message like this:

"There is a CR - carriage return inside of your CSV data, but it is not at the end-of-line."

I understand: the operating system where you are getting this message is not using carriage return+line feed as the end-of-line marker, but maybe just the line feed.

This may seem strange, but maybe it is all there is to it.

Have you tried dos2unix or something similar on your data or would that break it?

If it doesn't succeed, the CR might be somewhere inside the data, not anywhere close to the end-of-line."

Cheers, Sören

Completely wrong. All of it. Text::CSV_XS automatically deals with CR and/or NL in CSV streams/files. When in doubt, read the manpage: `2023 "EIQ - QUO character not allowed" Sequences like "foo "bar" baz",quux and 2023,",2008-04-05,"Foo, Bar",\ +n will cause this error.` [download] update: Sorry for that tone. I got sidetracked by the wrong paste in the OT. He used a message-code mismatch. I look at codes `2032 "EIF - CR char inside unquoted, not part of EOL"` [download] 2032 != 2023. Most of the time, NOT passing `eol` to the constructor is likely to solve the issue Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Text::CSV_XS automatically deals with CR and/or NL in CSV streams/files. Well the documentation (that I claim not to know :-P) says otherwise: This means that fields can not contain newlines. If your data contains newlines embedded in fields, or characters above 0x7e (tilde), or binary data, you must set binary => 1 in the call to new (). To cover the widest range of parsing options, you will always want to set binary. Still I haven't been able to reproduce the OP's error yet. Cheers, Sören	[reply]

The OP did add `binary => 1` in the constructor, so that part of the doc is not applicable to this problem IMHO. Again sorry for the harsh tone in my first reply. Appreciate your help to people with questions. Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn	[reply] [d/l]

False alarm . I have found the problem. Now it works. There were hidden ^M chars in the file. For other user, got this problem. With substitute s/^M//g I solved the error. Thanks Tux for the right direction.	[reply]

Hello Monks, the chomp was not the problem :-(. I also tried to substitute the newlines. Very strange.	[reply]
