Help with identifying separator #307

Open sagard opened 2 years ago

sagard commented 2 years ago

I just started using kantan.csv. I'm trying to build an api to read a csv file. File uploaded can be semicolon, colon or tab separated.

Is there a way I can give a list of acceptable separators or what would be the best way to get the separator without manually reading the file and identifying the separator used?

This is not something that kantan.csv supports, unfortunately. But we do allow you to use different CSV backends (commons-csv and jackson-csv). It's possible that one of these supports automatic separator detection. I'd look in that direction if I were you.
