Can SwiftCSV parse the CSV produced by Excel? #92

Closed ristkof closed 3 years ago

I read that Excel does not always produce CSV according to the RFC. For instance, it sometimes uses semicolons instead of commas.

Can this library deal with Excel CSV-files?

Maybe it would be interesting to provide some info about what formats it can and can not parse on the landing page?

Thanks

You should be able to parse any CSV file as long as you specify the separator character. It's set to "," by default, but you can change it to tab or semicolon.

A PR with changes to the README would be very welcome!
