Class CsvFoolWriter

java.lang.Object

cat.lump.aq.basics.io.files.CsvFoolWriter

public class CsvFoolWriter
extends java.lang.Object

A simple reader for CSV files. It can handle files with comments (starting with "#") and split on the basis of different characters (default: ",").

The most natural return format is a 2-dimensions arrays of Strings. Still it is also possible to get a List of 1-dimension arrays of Strings. If the CSV is not "squared"; i.e. the number of fields is different across rows, the method might not work properly.
