csv parser
Wow, it's been a while since I've posted to the list. I first have to say congratulations to the Rev team on the release of Rev 4.0. I've been using it for a couple days now, and it's looking great. I was wondering if anyone out there has written a csv parsing library in Rev and would be willing to share it. I'm in need of something that will read/write values to a csv file. I'll create my own if I have to, but obviously it would save me a ton of time if I don't have to.

Not exactly a library, but there was a fairly extensive thread back in October 2004 about the perils of the various forms of csv file, and it included a couple of handlers to read in csv files - I think there was a very readable and straightforward one from Richard Gaskin, and later there was a very efficient (but significantly more complex and obscure) version from me, at http://lists.runrev.com/pipermail/use-revolution/2004-October/045495.html If you have any control at all, I'd recommend TSV (i.e. TAB Separated Values rather than Comma SVs). -- alex. ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: csv parser
Great. Thanks, Alex. This will definitely come in handy. Point taken about using tabs vs. commas as the delimiter. That would be my preference too, but I'm not sure I have control in this case. We'll see. Thanks again, Chris On Nov 13, 2009, at 4:04 PM, Alex Tweedly wrote: > Chris Sheffield wrote: >> Wow, it's been a while since I've posted to the list.

I must add that here in France -- and certainly in other european contries, where the comma is used as a decimal separator -- the so-called "csv" format use a _semicolon_ as a delimiter ;-> ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
[ANN] CSV Parser Library 1.0.0
This is something I put together a while back and with the recent discussion on the use-list I figured I would make it available for those that could use it.. This library will parse a CSV file into a multi-dimensional array (I included a simple CSV file).. On large data sets the library might take a while as it does basically crawl through the data character by character in some instances.. Syntax: parseCSV( data ) parseCSV( data, true ) If the second parameter is true, the library will use the first row of the data as names for the column headers (like the data grid).. The data is returned in a multi-dimensional array where the first element is the row number and the second element is the column number (or name).. returnedDataArray[1][1] -- first row, first column returnedDataArray[10][3] -- tenth row, third column returnedDataArray[3]["file name"] - third row, column named "file name" This is released into the public domain but if you can help speed it up or know a slightly better way of doing some code in the library, please help out :-) -Sean http://shaosean.tk/ ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
