example csv
excel's rewrite of the CSV file, which now imports in LO 00 bytes replaced |

Note, this file can be imported successfully by Excel. After saving it as csv in Excel, it works. Excel strips out all the 00 byte values, perhaps they are confusing LibreOffice? Created attachment 141104 [details]
excel's rewrite of the CSV file, which now imports in LO
This attachment is the csv generated after importing the original file in Excel and saving it again. The quoting of text fields has changed, but it is the 00 bytes which cause the problem

00 bytes replaced
I used a hexeditor to replace the 00 bytes with 0x20
Now it imports into LO. So the 00 bytes are definitely the problem.

I think we can close it as WFM. |
