CSVFileReader reads comma-separated text files into 2D arrays line by line.
|
|
|
|
For tab delimited files use link::Classes/TabFileReader::. For semi-colon-delimited files use link::Classes/SemiColonFileReader::. For space-delimited files, or custom delimiters, use link::Classes/FileReader::.
|
|
|
|
Examples::
|
|
|
|
code::
|
|
(
|
|
// write a test file:
|
|
f = File("CSVReadTest.sc", "w");
|
|
f.write(
|
|
"Some,comma,delimited,items, in line 1
|
|
|
|
and then, some more, with several commas,,,, in line 3
|
|
"
|
|
);
|
|
f.close;
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
|
|
// open file, read and put strings into array, close file.
|
|
x = CSVFileReader.read("CSVReadTest.sc").postcs;
|
|
|
|
// can skip empty lines:
|
|
x = CSVFileReader.read("CSVReadTest.sc", true).postcs;
|
|
|
|
// can skip blank entries caused by multiple commas:
|
|
x = CSVFileReader.read("CSVReadTest.sc", true, true).postcs;
|
|
|
|
// do file open/close by hand if you prefer:
|
|
f = File("CSVReadTest.sc", "r"); f.isOpen;
|
|
t = CSVFileReader(f);
|
|
t.read(true, true).postcs;
|
|
f.close;
|
|
|
|
(
|
|
// write a test file with numbers:
|
|
f = File("CSVReadTestNum.sc", "w");
|
|
|
|
(1..10).do { |n| f.write(n.asString ++ ","); };
|
|
f.close;
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
x = CSVFileReader.read("CSVReadTestNum.sc", true, true).postcs;
|
|
x.collect(_.collect(_.interpret)); // convert to numbers.
|
|
|
|
// or do it immediately:
|
|
x = CSVFileReader.readInterpret("CSVReadTestNum.sc").postcs;
|
|
|
|
(
|
|
// write a test file with several lines of numbers:
|
|
f = File("CSVReadTestNum.sc", "w");
|
|
|
|
(1..100).do { |n|
|
|
f.write(n.asString ++ if (n % 10 != 0, ",", Char.nl)); };
|

f.close;
