CSV splitting issue #50

Open rwinterschlaf opened 5 days ago

rwinterschlaf commented 5 days ago

If generated on a computer that uses commas to separate values, we get a lot of issues. Since we can't expect everyone to have the semicolon splitters, we should probably do something about this (text in quotation marks or whatever else there is).

You can define separator and quoting/quotechar in the pandas to_csv function (have a look a the documentation). Then it should be the same for every system. Just be aware that just comma is the actual standard and will be assumed by most Open Source tools. Semicolon is MS Excel style.
