Supporting multi-line fields?

[bmilton]

I'm trying to import a bulksheet that contains a field for the [[*content]] section. What I'd like to do is store my html formatted content in this field and import it along with all the other fields. It looks like the fact that the text in the content field spans multiple lines will break the import.

ex:

template^pagetitle^alias^content^
7^My Page Title^pagename^<p>
my content here
</p>^

So right now it seems the only way to import this content field is to remove all the line breaks from each field in my worksheet.

I'd like to see this too, perhaps in combination with optional field enclosing characters eg

43;1;page title;"content over several
lines here";

I too would really like to be able to import multi-line text. Excel CSV import deals with this by using text delimiters, as Christian demonstrates in his example the use of double quotes to delimit content. It would be great it we could specify text delimiter as well as field separator.

The solution suggested in #55 will make this possible.
