Jason Steenstra-Pickens updated CSV-155:
----------------------------------------
Description:
I have the requirement where I need to parse the headers of a CSV string so
that I can validate them and then remove those headers.
The problem is that the CSVParser creates an internal ExtendedBufferedReader
from the given reader (which in my case is a StringReader). Reading the first
record will read and buffer additional records so if I then try and read
directly from the StringReader it does not return anything.
I either need to be able to pass in my own ExtendedBufferedReader (so would
need to be made public) or have a new method on the CSVParser to be able to
retrieve the remaining raw records.
The current workaround is to read all the records and then write all the
records except the first back out to a StringWriter but this is a lot of
unnecessary work and code. This doesn't really work since it reader and writing
it back out has a very high chance of modifying the quotes, escapes, whitespace
etc.
