the bytestring-csv package appears to have a bug whereby empty fields are dropped completely from the row, which is different to Text.CSV , which will return an empty field in the parse result. I'd argue this is a bug in bytestring-csv, anyone know whether this has been raised before, or know of a workaround? Prelude Data.Maybe Data.List Text.CSV.ByteString Data.ByteString.Char8> parseCSV $ pack "a,b,c\n1,2,3\n1,,9\n" Just [["a","b","c"],["1","2","3"],["1","9"]] -- the last row has two fields ^ Prelude Text.CSV> parseCSV "/tmp/err" "a,b,c\n1,2,3\n1,,9\n" Right [["a","b","c"],["1","2","3"],["1","","9"],[""]]
