[ferret_users] extra characters not expected with list/format="comma"



Hi ferreters,

I don't know if this issue has already been reported but in case it was
not the case, I describe the problem.

When you list some texts with the qualifier /format="comma" into a file,
you get 2 extra white space at the end that need extra processing to beremoved when one uses python/pandas dataframe reading for example.
Otherwise you get a last column name as df['bbb '] rather than df['bbb']
in my example.

yes? list/nohead/norowlab/format="comma"/file=file.csv/clobber "aaa", "bbb"
LISTing to file file.csv
yes? spawn od -c file.csv
0000000 " a a a " , " b b b "      \n
0000016

Notice the \n after 2 white space characters.

Those extra characters do not appear if the the /format="comma" qualifier
is not used.

yes? list/nohead/norowlab/file=file.csv/clobber "aaa", "bbb"
LISTing to file file.csv
yes? spawn od -c file.csv
0000000 " a a a " " b b b " \n
0000015

Tested with last 7.0 ferret release

Regards
Patrick
