CP932 CSV file which can't be imported (65 bytes, application/force-download) 2010-08-23 12:26 UTC, Yasuaki Taniguchi	Details

CP932 CSV file which can't be imported

A sample file is attached.

Codepage 932 is a default charset of Windows Japanese environment and it consists of Shift_JIS plus MS extensions.

When we try to import the sample file on Windows into GnuCash, we can import it because the system locale "CP932" is automatically selected. On the other hand, when we try to import it on Linux, we can't import because the CP932 entity is not exist in the Encoding selector of CSV preview dialog.
The candidates of Encoding selector for Japanese is only ISO-2022-JP, EUC-JP and Shift_JIS.

We can import the most of CP932 CSV file which contains only the original Shift_JIS characters on Linux, but can't import some CP932 CSV file which contains MS extensions.
