I initially thought that just plainly using the CSV Importer with col_sep: '; '
option should be working. But, the Importer won't be able to ignore empty lines. After looking at one of the unicode tables, I think we'd also require this Importer support something like :start_row
and :end_row
(rather than :skiprows
) to crop data in a better way.
:csv
importer, because this format is not valid CSV.I believe that :plaintext
importer initially meant to be handler for this format, just not finished. So, let's probably enchance it?
I am not sure how this format is properly called (investigate?), but it is pretty common for scientific and international standartization data. Example (official unicode tables, official timezones tables are also published in this format):
E.g. it is a bit like CSV with
;
separator but:#
is comment;It will be a nice showcase to have those "standard" data parsed out-of-the-box.
