There is a way to get what you described, and your code is fairly
close... but there's a much simpler way too.
from the std.csv docs:
==
When an input contains a header the $(D Contents) can be
specified as an
associative array. Passing null to signify that a header is
present.
-------
auto text = "Name,Occupation,Salary\r"
"Joe,Carpenter,300000\nFred,Blacksmith,400000\r\n";
foreach(record; csvReader!(string[string])
(text, null))
{
writefln("%s works as a %s and earns $%s per year.",
record["Name"], record["Occupation"],
record["Salary"]);
}
-------
==
The associative array directly is the simplest way to get this to
work. All items read will be of type string if you do it like
this, and you access with the [] syntax.
You can convert to other types with to when you want to use it:
import std.conv;
int salary = to!int(record["salary"]);
and that's the simplest way to make it work.
