On Project creation - Unchecked Split Columns Box still splits by comma #330

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Load a text file with a record per line a line could be:
Opt("WinWaitDelay",100)
Opt("WinDetectHiddenText",1)
Opt("MouseCoordMode",0)
_WinWaitActivate("World of Warcraft","")

2. Leave the box 'Split into columns' unchecked. And the column seperator is 
blank. However, it still splits by comma. 

For usability:
Maybe something like row delimiter box with regular expression support: \t\n or 
\n 
as well as a column delimiter like there already is.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected output should be a list of 1 column rows
but it still splits by commas.

What version of Google Refine are you using? 2.0 x64 jvm

What operating system and browser are you using?
Linux / Win 7  - Firefox 3.6.13 and Firefox 4 

Is this problem specific to the type of browser you're using or it happens
in all the browsers you tried?

I did have scripts blocked by default. Then I enabled and reloaded page after 
allowing page. The issue may have to relate to Javascript and it should be 
allowed to proceed with Javascript disabled because its just doing a post to 
Google Refine for new project creation. 

Please provide any additional information below.

Email me if more information is needed.

To note: I think I have fixed the issue by setting header lines to 0. The 
default header lines is 1. I think that showing a preview of the file on 
project creation of the header and a couple of data rows will provide ease of 
use. 

However, I think this still may be a bug.

The new importer UI guesses that the column delimiter is '(' but allows you to 
easily switch to a different delimiter or none at all.
