[cisco-voip] Cisco BAT and comma's inside values.

[Ryan Ratliff]

Depending on the field being used there are numerous bugs out there  
to get BAT to accept commas.
A search for BAT and comma should turn up quite a few.

CSCsc27282 seems to match your issue, "BAT Phone validation fails  
with comma in Display or Alerting Name".

Of course the bug notes that the insert will work but the validation  
fails.

Anyone ever successfully use bat to import fields with commas in the  
fields? for example I want the "display name" field on a line to be  
lastn, firstn.

Since BAT is a csv, the bat help says this is possible...


5.If the value of the field includes a comma or double quotes, then  
that field must be enclosed in double quotes. Enclosing the field in  
double quotes is not required for characters other than comma and  
double quotes in the field value.
                 For example if the line text label includes a comma  
in its value, the sample record would be:
                   1231123245AB,2,9728437154,9728437154,"Mike,line1", 
9725557172,9725557196,9725557126,9725557148,9725557166,9725557171,Market 
ing


Formating it like this, always errors out bat though. This field  
accepts a comma if you enter it through ccmadmin, but regardless of  
how i format the csv, a comma in the field is never taken. I have  
tried this on 2 installs of CM 4.1.3, a CM 4.1.2, and a cm 4.1. All  
the same

Any others have similar issues? or better, a fix?
