Parsing multicharacter delimiter column values from .txt file #443

Closed akssagar07 closed 3 years ago

akssagar07 commented 3 years ago

Hi, I have a text file with multicharacter delimiter like '#@#@'. I want to parse such file using this library and i have below questions: Content example:

col1#@#@col2#@#@col3 col1value1#@#@col2value2#@#@col3value3 col1value1#@#@col2value2#@#@col3value3 col1value1#@#@col2value2#@#@col3value3

  1. Is is possible parse a file with multicharacter delimiter like '#@#@'. I saw that this library accepts single character delimiter. though we set multiple delimiter characters but it tries to look for one by one character from set of characters not multiple characters at once.
  2. can I use CsvParserSettings api to to parse text file which has some delimiter separated values as in above example content.
