Issue when escape characters are split over stream chunks
Hi,
im running into an issue where an escape then the following enclose character (both in my case a double quote "
), are split over two sequential chunks in a stream..
In this simple bit of code for example:
var Parser = require('csv-stream/lib/parser');
var p = new Parser({
escapeChar : '"',
enclosedChar : '"'
});
p.parse('"..."');
p.parse('"quoted"""');
the full string is actually "...""quoted"""
, but because the two characters are split, it breaks this line (https://github.com/lbdremy/node-csv-stream/blob/master/lib/parser.js#L52) because it doesn't have access to the next character in the full string to determine if its actually an enclose character.
A suggested fix would be to keep track of if we are currently "escaping" between chunks, and treat the first character of the next chunk a bit differently.
I will create a PR for the fix
Thanks
