Description

The "Add delimited text layer" is not working correctly in version 2.01 and 2.1. Text is not parsed correctly. Text data that works fine in QGIS 1.8, with values separated by tabs, get messed up in 2.xx. With comma separated values and the problem is the same.

please add sample data

#2 Updated by Rhenriques Henriques over 10 years ago

Here it goes some sample data in swiss epsg 21781 coordinate system. This data is parsing just fine in QGIS 1.8 but fails in QGIS 2.xx. It's a blocker bug because lots of people use this workflow for spatial data. The files were obtained by exporting an Excel spreadsheet to Tab delimited text and comma delimited text.
Cheers

are your files made with excel on osx? if yes then is ultimately a mac issue, I agree that is a regression but there are easy workarounds meanwhile, see
