[gdal-dev] Ogr2ogr CSV driver not handling correctly line breaks inside columns

[Moises Calzado]

Hello!

We're trying to convert a Shapefile into a CSV using ogr2ogr and we're
having some issues while dealing with some columns that contain line breaks
inside their values. If we have a line with the following string, ogr2ogr
detects that the line break is a new line and it returns two lines.

"this is my \n value"


That's the command that we're executing:

ogr2ogr -f CSV -skipfailures -makevalid /vsistdout/ /vsizip/shapefile.zip
> -simplify 0.00001 -dim XY -t_srs EPSG:4326 -lco GEOMETRY=AS_WKT -lco
> GEOMETRY_NAME=geom -lco CREATE_CSVT=YES > result.csv
>

Is this an expected behaviour, or is there any way to avoid this?
Sharing an example Shapefile so that you can try to reproduce that
behaviour:

Thanks so much in advance,
Regards.
