Libre Office Calc: Export to CSV with CRLF line endings
I need to be able to save files created in LibreOffice Calc to CSV with the CRLF line endings.
I have tried many options but the files always come out missing the CR part.
I work with programs that will not import the CSV files without the windows line endings.

Convert to CSV as you normally would, then use theunix2doscommand on the files.

There are no options related to line endings in the filter options, so it looks like the only way is to use an external tool. Of course, a custom macro could be written to do this, for example using Python open(). Or perhaps a custom XSLT export filter could do it.

It is quite a while later; but this is still an issue. I usually just save the CSV file now and open and resave using gedit which allows choosing the line endings.

Line termination is not part of the CSV specification. It depends on the operating system. If you work on linux you get LF; if you use windows, CRLF.
When exporting any kind of text files from linux to windows a conversion tool is required: unix2dos.
