_csv.Error: new-line character seen in unquoted field #34

Closed bullitbd closed 6 years ago

bullitbd commented 6 years ago

getting _csv.Error: new-line character seen in unquoted field - do you need to open the file in universal-newline mode? osx 10.11, Office (Excel) for Mac 2011., Python 2.7; attempted saving as Mac, Windows, MS-DOS format as many variously have suggested. Hand-built the file in text editor - there are, of course newlines (\n)... get same error.

Here is file: `Atlas EZO

Pin,Unit,Type,Name,Side 1,1,gnd,GND,top 2,1,out,TX,top 3,1,in,RX,top 4,1,pwr,VCC,bottom 5,1,in,P+,bottom 6,1,in,P-,bottom

`

this was caused by a blank line at the end of the file... as the instructions suggested.

Is it possible to ignore blank lines? Sometimes it is good to have empty lines to organize things.

Another thing, is it possible to create a command for comments? Maybe # at the beginning of the line to ignore the whole line will be a good thing.

Also, I generally use text editor to do things instead of spreadsheets (they are easier to be fast) And I like to keep comments inside the file to organize things.

the spreadsheet point is well taken... really no need to use one.
