Multi-line strings #79

Closed jnothman closed 5 years ago

jnothman commented 6 years ago

What is the format for multiline strings? Is:

"one line
another line","another attribute"

correct?

Or

"one line\
another line","another attribute"

?

Or

"one line\nanother line","another attribute"

?

Or any of the above??

I can't find any mention of this in the arff documentation. Where did you find such files?

jnothman commented 6 years ago

I didn't find such files. But my background is in natural language processing and I care very much that such data can be represented in a resource like OpenML.​

I'm afraid that you either need to ask on the mailing list or check the original arff parser. Probably it works somehow, but is not documented.
