Stripping whitespace and exporting to CSV files? #24

Closed fmitha closed 4 years ago

Hi,

I haven't tested your library yet, but is it possible to use it to strip whitespace from a CSV file? I'm looking for a simple way to rewrite a CSV file with whitespace to a CSV file without whitespace, before importing into SQLite.

And does your library support export to CSV files as well?

I was thinking of something like import CSV files while stripping whitespace. Then exporting "cleaned" date to CSV.

Yes, you should be able to do that with this library! It has in parser and a writer. With the current version, you'd have to parse in the file, trim the white space in the fields, and then write it out.

Hope this helps!
