Improper CSV formatting in BOM export

[evan.dudzik]

When I export the BOM from the schematic view in CSV format, strings (such as part description) which happen to contain a double quote are represented verbatim in the CSV output file, as seen here:

Per RFC-4180 page 2:

   7.  If double-quotes are used to enclose fields, then a double-quote
       appearing inside a field must be escaped by preceding it with
       another double quote.  For example:

       "aaa","b""bb","ccc"

 I acknowledge that RFC-4180 isn't a formal standard, though it seems like the closest thing that exists for CSV.  Some of the downstream tools I tried are able to gracefully handle the lack of escaping, while others do not; unfortunately this breaks my workflow, requiring me to fix the exported CSV every time.

Hi @evan.dudzik,

I hope you're doing well. I'll put this in as a feature request, in the meantime it may be easier to go into the library connector description and swap the " for the word inch and then from then on you won't have to fix the BOM.

Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.

Best Regards,

Thanks. I prefer not to clone and modify built-in libraries (in this case, 'con-molex') if I can avoid it, for obvious reasons. I look forward to a fix in a future update.
