Module Core_extended.Csv_writer

* Compliant simple CSV writter. * * This library is designed to deal with proper CSV (no quotes allowed in the * middle of the fields...). It is fast and flexible: by splitting most * writing functions in two parts one that gives the length of the string to * write and another that writes the result in a subpart of another string we * avoid unnecessary string creations.

val output_lines : ?quote:char ‑> ?sep:char ‑> ?eol:[ `Dos | `Unix ] ‑> Pervasives.out_channel ‑> string list list ‑> unit

Prints a valid csv file to a given channel. The eol arg can be used to override the default line ending of "\r\n" (DOS line endings). Example ~eol:"\n" to get *nix line endings

val line_to_string : ?quote:char ‑> ?sep:char ‑> string list ‑> string

Convert one CSV line to a string.

val maybe_escape_field : ?quote:char ‑> ?sep:char ‑> string ‑> string

Escape the a CSV field if need be.

val escape_field : ?quote:char ‑> string ‑> string

Escape a CSV (even if doesn't have any characters that require escaping).

Low-level

val quote_len : quote:char ‑> sep:char ‑> pos:int ‑> len:int ‑> string ‑> int option

Get the escaped length of one quoted field (without the quotes). Returns None if the field doesn't need to be escaped.

val quote_blit : quote:char ‑> src:string ‑> dst:string ‑> src_pos:int ‑> dst_pos:int ‑> len:int ‑> int

Copy and escapes the content of a field over from one string to another. This does not put the quotes in.
