             Bug #: 53325
           Summary: FILEOPEN "CSV" import not correctly recognizing space
                    and text field delimiters, i.e. web log file
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 3.6.0.4 release
          Platform: x86-64 (AMD64)
        OS/Version: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Spreadsheet
        AssignedTo: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: sean.carlos at gmail.com


Apache web server log files contain text data separated by spaces; data fields
containing spaces is enclosed in double quotes.

LibreOffice 3.4.x properly parses this data, 3.6.0.4 does not seem to want to
do so: it only sees the first and last double quotes and dumps everything in
between into one column instead of splitting it across columns.

I don't know about 3.5.x nor have I tried to confirm this on other platforms.

Example data line (w/o wrapping!)
