Emmanuel Bourg updated CSV-84: ------------------------------ Fix Version/s: 1.0 Issue Type: Improvement (was: New Feature) Summary: Clarify comment handling (was: Comment handling) > Clarify comment handling > ------------------------ > > Key: CSV-84 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CSV-84 > Project: Commons CSV > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Sebb > Fix For: 1.0 > > > Comment handling is not currently fully documented / tested. > There are several possible situations: > 1) trailing comment following one or more values > 2) comment marker starts in the first column > 3) comment marker starts in the first non-whitespace column > How should these be handled? > 1) The trailing comment should be ignored > 2) Entire line should be ignored, i.e. don't treat it as a blank line > 3) This is trickier: if whitespace is being trimmed, treat as 2, else treat > as 1, i.e. there is a single value containing whitespace > It might also be useful to consider returning comments to the application > program as part of CSVRecord. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
