Constructor Detail

CSVReader

public CSVReader(BufferedReader br)

Create a new CSVReader that reads from the given buffered reader.

CSVReader

public CSVReader(Reader r)

Create a new CSVReader that reads from the given reader.

CSVReader

public CSVReader(InputStream in,
                 String charsetName)
          throws UnsupportedEncodingException

Create a new CSVReader that reads from the given stream.

Throws:

UnsupportedEncodingException

Method Detail

getSeparator

public char getSeparator()

Return the separator character (usually comma, tab or semicolon), or 0 to auto-detect.

setSeparator

public void setSeparator(char separator)

Set the separator character (usually comma, tab or semicolon), or 0 to auto-detect.

setStripComments

public void setStripComments(boolean stripComments)

Set whether comments (lines starting with # or empty lines) should be stripped.

setSupportFullyQuotedLines

public void setSupportFullyQuotedLines(boolean supportFullyQuotedLines)

Some broken CSV writers quote the whole line if no field of the line needs to be quoted. In that case, a standard-compliant CSV parser will read everything into one field. To support these files, this option can be enabled. In that case, if there is only a quote character at the beginning and the end of the line, it is stripped.

setSupportMultiLineCells

public void setSupportMultiLineCells(boolean supportMutiLineCells)

Enable support for multi-line values in cells. In that case, if a quotation mark is not closed within the same line, more lines are read to find the closing quotation mark. Lines will be combined with newline characters \n regardless of the original line delimiter character. If disabled, quotation marks that are not closed within the same line are treated as a parse error.
