Hi,

I'm using FasterCSV to write out a tab delimited file.  For empty
fields, does anyone know if there's a way to not put in empty quotes
("") for nil or blank fields?

Thanks

The behavior you describe, not quoting empty fields, is the default for =
FasterCSV:

>> require "faster_csv"
=3D> true
>> FCSV.generate(:col_sep =3D> "\t") { |csv| csv << [1, 2, nil, 4] }
=3D> "1\t2\t\t4\n"
