Thomas Neidhart commented on CSV-107:
-------------------------------------
Another option would be to do the same as suggested here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1835430/byte-order-mark-screws-up-file-reading-in-java
It's basically a unicode reader that skips the BOM at the beginning of the
stream if one is detected.
> CSVFormat.EXCEL.parse should handle byte order marks

> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Parser

> The CSVFormat.EXCEL.parse should consider the byte order marks when reading
> the input stream. Files with a byte order mark fail to properly parse.
> In my example, I have a starting byte order mark before my headers in a CVS
> file. The parse fails when trying to get the header via the CSVRecord.get
> call.
> I marked this as critical because many users will interact with Windows user
> which will most likely have BOM files.
