--------------------------
Hi, [~ggregory]
We can change {color:#4c9aff}withDelimiter(final char delimiter){color}
to{color:#4c9aff} withDelimiter(final String delimiter){color}. Then get the
character array in advance through{color:#4c9aff} lookAhead(int{color}
{color:#4c9aff}n){color} in the{color:#4c9aff} ExtendedBufferedReader{color} to
determine whether it is a delimiter. I'm interested in this feature. Do you
have any suggestions?

> It's not uncommon that we use multiple-characters delimiter to separate
> columns in CVS: such as: [|]
> Sometimes, we have no choice as third-party defines the csv format like that.
> It would be great if apache commons.csv supports this function.
> I did some google search: seems there is no java library that supports use
> multiple-characters as the column separator.
