In general linebreak are fine in a CSV format because the end of a field is determined by the field delimiter. If R is not capable of parsing the linebreaks then an additional step (converting(removing linebreaks in fields) needs to be taken just for R export. |

The problem isn't with R, which easily deals with line breaks. The issue was that in one of my surveys, the csv file had some fields that weren't quoted properly, thus being separated between columns, where the answer should have been in a single cell. I am now trying to replicate the issue, but no success yet. |

The issue was not with line breaks being incorrectly handled, but text fields being delimited with 'single quotes' rather than "double quotes", making it difficult to read the csv export file into Excel. |

Fixed in Yii branch |

Added column headers, and changed quote character to "double quotes" |
