How to write multiple lines into a text file using CSV writer?
Best answer by takashi
Probably the CSV writer cannot be used to write a csv record containing a newline within it. How about using the Text File writer instead?

I've filed an enhancement request to add carriage return/line feed as a separator option on the CSV Writer, which would solve this in one go. We'll see what the developers say, but it won't be a high priority item I don't think.
