Feature request : set the input format from the file extension

[kpym]

Currently if we want to load a csv file with -i data.csv we have also to set the format using -f csv. May be the format can be set by default to be the file extension if it is on of the known formats.

Done in v1.0.15 - App tries autodetect format by extension if -f is not definned I've added also new paramater -d to define CSV delimiter

[kpym]

You can now probably remove all unnecessary -f from the documentation, like in :

• bafi.exe -i users.csv -f csv -t myTemplate.tmpl -o output.txt
• bafi.exe -i users.bson -f bson -t myTemplate.tmpl -o output.html
• .\bafi.exe -i input.csv -f csv -t "?{{toXML .}}"
• ...

updatated but note -f param still makes sense because extension may often be unusual especially for XML and CSV and also. This tool was originally meant for STDIN where format must be defined

[kpym]

@mmalcek I agree that -f is absolutely necessary (even if we can guess the format from the data) when reading from stdin or when the file extension is not standard. But I suggest to remove it only from the examples where -f is redundant with the extension in -i.
