This is a demo library for my learning and practice purposes.

---

1. Why need to have this little library?

   There are many csv libraries out there, but I still prefer to write my own. First reason is that it is not so difficult to write a reader and writer. Second, most of my files don't need cumbersome settings for reader and writer. I just want things become easy and simple.

2. Usage

- By default, csv file reader and writer will read and write "" quoted entries.

- By default, all delimited file reader will trim starting/ending white spaces of each entry.

- By default, all delimited file writer will write a header row in the output file.

```c#

var data = new CsvFile("filename.csv").GetData();

data.WriteToCsvFile("output.csv");

```

If you want to skip first n rows,

```c#

var data = new PipeDelimitedFile("input.csv")

        .SkipNRows(1)

        .GetData()

        .ToList();

```

If you don't want to trim starting/ending white spaces of each entry,

```c#

var data = new TabDelimitedFile("input.txt")

        .SkipNRows(1)

        .GetData(new DelimitedFileReaderConfig(false))

        .ToList();

```

If you don't want to write header in the output file,

```c#

var config = new CsvWriterConfig {WriteHeader = false};

data.WriteToCsvFile("output.csv", config);

```
