Gary Gregory updated CSV-130:
-----------------------------
Summary: CSVFormat#withHeader doesn't work well with #printComment, add
withHeaderComments(String...) (was: CSVFormat#withHeader doesn't work well
with #printComment)
> CSVFormat#withHeader doesn't work well with #printComment, add
> withHeaderComments(String...)
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CSV-130
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CSV-130
> Project: Commons CSV
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Printer
> Affects Versions: 1.0
> Reporter: Sergei Lebedev
> Priority: Minor
>
> For some applications it might be useful to add a top comment to the CSV file
> being printed. However, this isn't possible with #120 implemented the way it
> is. Here's an example:
> {code}
> public class Example {
> public static void main(final String[] args) throws IOException {
> final CSVPrinter csvPrinter = CSVFormat.TDF
> .withCommentMarker('#')
> .withHeader("foo", "bar")
> .print(System.out);
> csvPrinter.printComment("generated by yada v1.0");
> csvPrinter.printComment("foo some description");
> csvPrinter.printComment("bar more here");
> csvPrinter.printRecord(42, 24);
> csvPrinter.printRecord(24, 42);
> }
> }
> // Outputs:
> // foo bar
> // # generated by yada v1.0
> // # foo some description
> // # bar more here
> // 42 24
> // 24 42
> {code}
> Obviously, there's a way to "fix" this: output the header in the first call
> to `#printRecord`, but it just doesn't feel right. What to do you think?
