Hey folks,
Its been a while since I posted back here... ok, its been a looong while. A lot has been going on. I've pushed forth my career in gaming all the way to Singapore! Yes, that's one of the four asian tigers and it sure is one of the best places to be working as a game developer. That, of course, does not mean I will let this blog lie fallow. So here goes...
One of the most interesting (vexing?) things about programming is that some of the simplest things turn out to be not so simple at all! Consider a CSV reader. We've probably used one (if not written one of our own) and yet we all know that it could do with a whole lot of customization. Some of the general peeves, I've heard are:
"I don't want to use commas, I like using the caret symbol!"
"Why can't I have new lines in my CSV content?"
"I want to have embedded spaces in my CSV data!"
"I want to sneeze with my eyes open, darn it!"
All of these (except the last one), led me to stop kicking the can down the road and come up with my own parser. I called it ACSVParser(after yours truly :))
The project is hosted on github at https://github.com/angelorohit/ACSVParser
Do check it out and let me know what you think (feedback, suggestions, issues).
Cheers!
