CSVReader/Writer

Programming is becoming less and less of a hassle, especially since IDEs tend to integrate visual building elements which just need to be dragged in the appropriate position. However, regular programming still relies on classes and code, so one might need CSVReader/Writer to be able to read and write CSV files within custom programs.

First things first, this is not exactly a stand-alone application, so there are several things which need to be done to make the most out of this set of code. For instance, Java SE Development Kit (JDK) or a similar development kit is required, as well as Java JRE to be able to view and test out any builds.

The set of libraries can be either used as a standalone command line utilities, or as classes which get embedded in a custom Java program. It also works fine with any vanilla text files, such as ASCII or UTF-8 Unicode files. However, in order to create and view files, a text editor is required and not a text processor such as notepad.

It’s recommended to use a monospaced font when viewing files to avoid alignment discrepancies. It integrates a bundle of 31 java classes and utilities, which make it possible to read, write, align, reshape, dump, sort, convert and pack comma, tab and semicolon-separated variable files, and more.
