Finally, I'll post on the forum that sdf compatibility is not one of the
goals of sdfdataset.
Is there some defined on-disk format that sdfdataset should be following?
As I understood it, it is either fixed length or CSV. CSV as in
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4180
People can only go by what they see (they can't read your mind when you
committed sdfdataset).
There is:
- the unit name ("sdfdataset")
- the comments
- the code
- the output
All of this makes it in my opinion more likely to be SDF than CSV.
Like I said, I had never heard of SDF.
Look, for me, this is not a requirement set in stone, I am quite flexible.
You guys asked what the original idea was, and I explained some of the
history behind the dataset.
If the desire is to have a TSDFDataset (whatever the specs) and a separate
CSV dataset, fine, we'll make it so, this is really not a problem.
I don't want anyone to feel that he has wasted his time :-)
