Gary Gregory commented on LANG-860:
-----------------------------------
Hello,
The question for me is: How can Commons-CSV be made better if it cannot handle
your user story.
It is possible that your story is out of scope for CSV of course.
"For example, what if you want to get all the parenthesized text out of a
document? commons-csv cannot do that because '(' and ')' are different
characters. "
That's more Regex than CSV. Can you give an example of this story with your
code?
WRT "Also, if you expect anybody to use commons-csv, you should really put it
on the central maven repository, and document it a little more."
[CSV] is under development toward a 1.0 release at this time, which is why it
is not on Maven Central. Any and all help is appreciated to move [cvs] forward.
Please see the ML for a discussion of the configuration API where we seems to
be balancing between two styles.
> String split with an escape pattern

> Key: LANG-860
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-860
> Project: Commons Lang
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: lang.*
> Reporter: Michael Knapp
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: patch, split
> Attachments: StringUtilsSplitEscapingly.patch
>
> Original Estimate: 1h
> Remaining Estimate: 1h

> Often times there are strings which are delimited, but certain patterns can
> escape the delimiter. For example, quotes are used in CSV to escape a comma
> delimiter. I have written a couple methods for StringUtils that split
> strings while considering the possibility of an escape pattern. For example,
> when given "a,\"b,c\",c", it will produce {"a","\"b,c\"","c"}. In my code,
> the delimiter can be a string, and it can be escaped by any regular
> expression pattern. Unit tests are already written and passing.
> I plan to attach the patch for this once the ticket is created. I just need
> a committer to review the patch, approve, and commit it for me.
