Meta data in CSV #794

Closed dolanmiu closed 4 years ago

dolanmiu commented 4 years ago

I am tasked to parse a CSV file, but however, there is some meta data above the actual CSV content:

Can PapaParse handle this scenario?

Notice how the CSV actually starts on line 34

Yes, you can use the skiplines option to skip the first 34 lines and start parsing when required.

Is there a way to also parse the first 34 lines?

I need those data points too @pokoli

skipLines cant be found in the docs:
