Hello

I have a csv where all text fields are enclosed in double quotes. It imports just fine except that any newline (\n) characters within the quotes are ignored by hikashop after import.

Hi,

Did you try with newlines using the format: "\r\n" ?

Thanks for your reply.

I just rewrote the code in our csv builder application to insert "\r\n" instead of "\n" but it made no difference to the end result. Still, I can confirm it looks ok if i open up the text in a texteditor in both "\n" & "\r\n" cases. I just seems hikashop is not picking up the linebreaks.

Why do you think that Hikashop is not picking up the linebreaks ?
Are you sure that you're not missunderstanding linebreaks in text files and HTML linebreaks ?
The linebreaks in text files won't display on HTML pages since you need to use HTML linebreaks <br/> instead.

That is entirely possible. :whistle:
