Jon Schewe commented on CSV-110:
--------------------------------
Has there been anymore discussion about making the nextRecord() method public?
I'd like to be able to call this method directly as well to support continually
reading a file that is being appended to by another process. So I'd like to do
something like:
{code:java}
for(;;) {
String line = parser.nextRecord();
if(null == line) {
sleep(POLL_TIME);
} else {
process(line);
}
}
{code}
> Add ability to parse single lines

>
> Due to the iterator-based API of CSVParser, there is currently no simple and
> convenient way to parse single lines of CSV-formatted data. The intention of
> this ticket is to add something along the lines of the following:
> {code}
> CSVLineParser lineParser = new CSVLineParser(csvFormat);
> String singleLine = "a,b,c";
> CSVRecord singleRecord lineParser.parseLine(singleLine);
> {code}
> The use case of parsing single lines comes up very often in terms of
> distributed batch processing scenarios (i.e. Hadoop jobs), and CSV-style
> formats are also regularly used in such scenarios. Currently, projects are
> often forced to build their own ad-hoc CSV parsing solutions, so adding the
> ability to parse single lines to commons-csv would be very useful to these
> projects, as well as anyone doing parsing based on input that isn't necessary
> in the form of a single stream.
