# CSV fixture: quoted newlines, commas and leading zeros

A small downloadable CSV for checking record boundaries and string identifiers.

Category: PARSER FIXTURES
Canonical: https://fieldnotesarchive.org/wiki/csv-quoted-newlines-fixture

This synthetic fixture uses comma delimiters, a header row and double-quoted fields. Records end in CRLF; one quoted field contains an LF newline. Identifiers are strings.

## Fields

`id`, `item`, `quantity`, `unit_price`, `note`. Prices are decimal test values, not live product prices. The literal note `null` is text; an empty quoted note is an empty string.

## Checks to run

Count logical records separately from physical lines. Preserve identifier zeros and doubled quotes. If you calculate a total, multiply quantity by unit_price using decimal arithmetic. A parser that splits the file on newline before reading CSV will mishandle the multiline field.
