At the moment GRAL only supports very a simple form of CSV. Although the CSV format is considered to be an easy exchange format, countless variants exist. There are quoted values, different characters for quoting, escaping, newline, etc.
The CSVReader and CSVWriter plug-ins should have more settings and be more configurable to the different variants.

Major changes were done in r405 that will make CSVReader more flexible. [https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4180 RFC 4180] was used as a reference for the new implementation. And the reader employs the StatefulTokenizer class to apply more complex rules for parsing. This way, quoting and escaping are now possible.
At the moment double quotes are hard coded and quoting a value like
"foo;bar";foo;bar
will now output three string foo;bar, foo, and bar.
Escaping the quotes by doubling:
"foo""the""bar"
will now output the string foo"the"bar containing the quotes.
Additionally, settings have been changed from strings to static constants, like SEPARATOR_CHAR. Once the new class has been thoroughly tested, more settings will be added
