Added csv2table function

[jayant-ism]

I have added csv2table function. It takes 2 string input arguments

• : The location of the csv file.
• : Whether the csv file has header or not. ("1" for yes and "0" for no )

For running first convert the csv_matrix.cc to the csv_matrix.oct with the following command in the terminal:- mkoctfile csv_matrix.cc

Hi Jayant,

Thanks for your interest and contribution!

I'm probably going to pass on this. A few reasons:

• Tablicious's main goal is API compatibility with Matlab's table-related functions and methods. Matlab does not define a csv2table function. What we really need is an implementation of Matlab's readtable function.
• I'd prefer to minimize the use of C++/oct-file code in the Tablicious implementation. Stuff that works with M-code level IO functions, or even the stuff provided by the Octave Forge io package, would be preferable.
• This code doesn't look like it takes in to account all the variations of the "CSV" format (which isn't an actual standard format per se) out there in the wild. Reading CSV in a robust manner is nontrivial.

Cheers, Andrew

Yeah, I'm deciding to pass on this, due to the reasons listed above. Closing as WONTDO.

Thank you for your submission, though!
