(1) I export a data set that has two identitcal rows.
(2) I use "!!" to display the stored file, showing that it contains two
identical rows.
(3) I import the file, the result of which does *not* have two identical
rows: The first row is different from the second row.
Export["test.tsv",
{{"2005-01-24", "2005-02-14"},
{ "2005-01-24", "2005-02-14"}}]
!!test.tsv -->
2005-01-24 2005-02-14
2005-01-24 2005-02-14
Import["test.tsv"] -->
{{2005-01-24, 2005-02-14},
{2005, -1, -24, 2005, -2, -14}}
Surely this is a bug.
(I sent this example to support at wolfram.com three weeks ago, but the
only response I've received is that it's not a bug. Frankly, I don't
think the tech person who responded understood the example.)
I am using version 5.1 for Windows.
