Karthik Narayanan commented on NIFI-436:
----------------------------------------

Hi  Sönke Liebau , i tried to attack this issue. I did not think Auto Detect was a good idea, especially if \n is embedded in the header or column values. It would be difficult to guess if it is part of data or metadata.  So i set the property to default to '\n'. Users will have option to select either '\r\ ,or '\r\n'.

> I have a CSV file in a format that inidcates the end of a line with a crlf. This file has embedded comments that have lf in them.
> When I run this file through the split text processor, it is splitting at the LF characters.
> I think it would be nice to have a setting to change the line ending characters for splitting text.
> I can't find anything in the documentation that indicates how I would change this behavior, so I assume it does not exist.
> Also, I would be willing to try and implement this improvement, but I can't seem to find the source for the SplitTextProcessor.
