Examples
Let's have few example. First we have row where the original value is "This is a sample string" and Finnish value is "Tämä on esimerkkimerkkijono". The following table contains exported lines of that row when a tab character is used as a delimiter character.
| Quote | Sisulizer escapes | C/C++ escapes |
|---|---|---|
| None | This is a sample string<tab>Tämä on esimerkkimerkkijono | This is a sample string<tab>Tämä on esimerkkimerkkijono |
| Single | 'This is a sample string'<tab>'Tämä on esimerkkimerkkijono' | 'This is a sample string"<tab>"Tämä on esimerkkimerkkijono' |
| Double | "This is a sample string"<tab>"Tämä on esimerkkimerkkijono" | "This is a sample string"<tab>"Tämä on esimerkkimerkkijono" |
This string does not contain any special character. This is why the result will be same using both encodings. <tab> means single tab character (0x09).
The second sample row contains two lines "First line<cr><lf>Second line". Exported lines will be
| Quote | Sisulizer escapes | C/C++ escapes |
|---|---|---|
| None | First line#c#lSecond line<tab>Ensimmäinen rivi#nToinen rivi | First line\r\nSecond line<tab>Ensimmäinen rivi\r\nToinen rivi |
| Single | 'First line#c#lSecond line'<tab>'Ensimmäinen rivi#nToinen rivi' | 'First line\r\nSecond line'<tab>'Ensimmäinen rivi\r\nToinen rivi' |
| Double | "First line#c#lSecond line"<tab>"Ensimmäinen rivi#nToinen rivi" | "First line\r\nSecond line"<tab>"Ensimmäinen rivi\r\nToinen rivi" |
Escaped characters are marked with bold typeface. Now output is different when using Sisulizer and C/C++ escapes. In Sisulizer escaping the actual new line characters (CR and LF) are only to the original column. The Finnish column contains only #n at the place of new line characters. This makes translation of the file easier and less error prone.
The final sample row, "This is 'single' and "double" quote sample", contains quote characters (' and ").
| Quote | Sisulizer escapes | C/C++ escapes |
|---|---|---|
| None | This is 'single' and "double" quote sample | This is 'single' and "double" quote sample |
| Single | 'This is ''single'' and "double" quote sample' | 'This is \'single\' and "double" quote sample' |
| Double | "This is 'single' and ""double"" quote sample" | "This is 'single' and \"double\" quote sample" |
The above example contains only original (English) column. Sisulizer escaping doubles the quote character inside quotes. C/C++ escaping escapes it.
