Gary D. Gregory commented on CSV-272:
-------------------------------------
If you only care about appearance, you can use the tab format. That might do
the trick. Otherwise adding this might make parsing quite different from what
we have now?
Any thoughts from the community?

> Support fixed-width format
> --------------------------

> Key: CSV-272
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CSV-272
> Project: Commons CSV
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Parser
> Affects Versions: 1.8
> Reporter: Holger Brandl
> Priority: Major
>
> Although not strictly a delimiter format, fixed-width tables are still very
> common. So it would be great if commons-csv would support fixed-width via a
> dedicated format.
> Since jira does not render fixed-delim content correctly, I've deposited an
> example under
