I found the culprit: ActionType ... public void addCellValue(int row, int column, String content) { //Michael Neale: // For single standard quotes we escape them - eg they may mean "inches" // as in "I want a Stonehenge replica 19" tall" int idx = content.indexOf("\""); if (idx > 0 && content.indexOf("\"", idx) > -1) { content = content.replace("\"", "\\\""); } // if( this.sourceBuilder != null ){ this.sourceBuilder.addCellValue( row, column, content ); // } } ... I think it is very naive to assume someone is using " for inches and escaping it regardless. Can this be made more intelligent? (or am I using it all wrong :) ) -- View this message in context: http://drools.46999.n3.nabble.com/Quotes-in-decision-tables-are-escaped-t...
