Deleted records are not skipped #50

Closed theCapypara closed 1 year ago

theCapypara commented 1 year ago

According to the dbase spec, the first byte of each records values is either a space or an asterisk (*). If it is an asterisk, it is considered deleted.

See https://www.dbase.com/Knowledgebase/INT/db7_file_fmt.htm - Table Records:

The records follow the header in the table file. Data records are preceded by one byte, that is, a space (0x20) if the record is not deleted, an asterisk (0x2A) if the record is deleted.

At the moment this crate does not skip records marked as deleted this way.

Should'nt be too hard to fix as parsing that field but ignoring it
