Hi Jaap,
your CSV library is used in the Hackage2 project. I found that backup
and restore does not work with a pristine state, and the reason seems to
be a problem with your library: It either adds unnecessary newlines or
interprets empty lines at the end of the program for no apparent reason:
Prelude Text.CSV> (parseCSV "name" . printCSV) []
Right [[""]]
Prelude Text.CSV> (parseCSV "name" . printCSV) [[]]
Right [[""],[""]]
Prelude Text.CSV> (parseCSV "name" . printCSV) [[],[]]
Right [[""],[""]]
Prelude Text.CSV> (parseCSV "name" . printCSV) [["hi"],["ho"]]
Right [["hi"],["ho"],[""]]
Prelude Text.CSV> (parseCSV "name" . printCSV) [["hi"]]
Right [["hi"],[""]]
Prelude Text.CSV>
Is that easy to fix?
Thanks,
Joachim
