Problem with DOS line ending (0x0d, 0x0a)

[SzigetiJ]

In unix-like systems, if the last cell gets escaped, the final " character will be put after the 0x0d (carriage return) character. Thus the <CR><LF> sequence will become <CR>"<LF>.
What to do:

• Maybe put a simple warning into the doc;
• or write a warning to stderr;
• or equip csvconv with transformation capability;
• or automatically detect newline type.

Note, I expect similar problem with input files with unix-style line endings running on DOS-like systems.

Vote against csvconv extension: a much simpler solution is pipelining the input through tr or sed or dos2unix script if the endl sequence of the input file and the system does not match. Also, automatic newline type detection is out of the scope of csvtools. Putting a warning message on stderr, again, requires some kind of newline type detection..

Put the question (with) answer into FAQ and provide an example should be enough to solve this issue.
