Yes you are right I was not testing my patches using 'emacs -Q' and I am apologetic about it. I just "tested" most of them by M-x eval-buffer on the patched file and then checked the output of `with-temp-buffer'. >> Now on the topic of CSV parser, I have succesfully implemented a CSV >> parser in less than 65 LOC which also preserves newline character but I >> am facing a dilemma on how should I represent it as a Org table.

After reading FAQ about multiple lines in table field I don't think this PATCH makes much sense as my main driving force for this patch was to simplify regular expression in `org-table-convert-region' and somehow add newlines support. I also think `org-table-convert-region' is doing a fine job and I should keep my "I want to contribute...." habit in check. > I expect complexity O(number of lines in result).

Currently I am trying to sequentially read Elisp manual and I have completed the section on 'Mapping Function' yesterday. I think it's a really nice language feature that I can make use of. > P.S.

Thank you! I have seen most of the decision on Lisp includes SICP but I am currently stopping myself to Elisp manual to learn something useful about this timeless editor and learn thing in a step-by-step manner. I also tried Racket after reading: https://dustycloud.org/blog/racket-is-an-acceptable-python https://beautifulracket.com/ But stopped myself for the reason same as above. -- Utkarsh Singh http://utkarshsingh.xyz
