README

        
CSV4AS3 is a CSV library for Actionscript that has been ported from Apache Commons CSV

Advantages of this library include:

* Ability to parse incrementally without the need to read entire file into memory

* Support for custom CSV format settings

* Support for handling escapes and comments

* Includes a CSV printer

* Supports UTF8 compatible text formats

Getting Started - Parsing a CSV File

Step 1: Create and open a IDataInput object such as a FileStream

    var file:File = new File("C:\\Users\\userdir\\test.csv");

    var input:FileStream = new FileStream();

    input.open(file, FileMode.READ);

Step 2: Create and Configure A CSVParser:

    // in this case the CSV file has a header

    var parser:CSVParser = new CSVParser(input, CSVFormat.buildDefaultWithHeader());

    var headerMap:Object = parser.getHeaderMap(); 

Step 3: Iterate over the records

    var record:CSVRecord;

    while(parser.hasNext())

    {

      record = parser.next();

 

      for (var columnName:String in headerMap)

      {

        trace(columnName + ": " + record.getValueByName(columnName));

      }

    }

Alternatively parser.getRecords() will return an Array of CSVRecords of all the remaining rows in the file without needing to iterate.

Step 4: Close the input source

    input.close();
