Method Detail

openForReading

public void openForReading(Reader in)
                    throws IOException

Open a CSV formatted character stream for reading. A CSVDataSource that has been used for reading once cannot be reused.

Parameters:

in - The character stream to read.

Throws:

IOException - If an I/O error occurs reading the headers or the first row of data.

openForWriting

public void openForWriting(Writer out,
                           String... columnNames)
                    throws IOException

Open a CSV formatted character stream for writing. A CSVDataSource that has been used for writing once cannot be reused.

Parameters:

out - The character stream to write to.

columnNames - The names of all the columns that will be written.

Throws:

IOException - If an I/O error occurs writing the headers.

isEndOfFile

public boolean isEndOfFile()

Indicates whether the end of the file has been reached. Only applicable when reading.

Returns:

true if the end of the file has been reached.

next

public void next()
          throws IOException

Advance to the next row, if any. When writing this will write a row of values to the stream. When reading, isEndOfFile() should be invoked afterwards, and before trying to get data, to determine whether the end of the file had been reached.

Throws:

IOException - If an I/O error occurs reading from or writing to the stream.

setString

public void setString(String columnName,
                      String value)
