---------------------------------------

"" is the one I've always seen too. 

http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4180 has that as well (from the wikipedia link).

> All the descriptions of the CSV format that I've seen state that:
> - Double quotes (") are escaped using two double quotes (""), rather than a backslash (\").
> - Embedded line breaks are allowed and don't need to be escaped... just enclose the field in double quotes.
> - Because backslashes are not used to escape double quotes or line breaks, the backslashes themselves do not need to be escaped.
> CSVPrinter#escapeAndQuote(String) breaks these rules. Why?
