Chapter 16 - CSV File Processing

16.1 - Purpose        top

Process a comma-separated value (CSV) file (typically, a file containing row-column data or metadata) through a Tefigel processor (subroutine).

16.2 - Usage        top

Process a CSV file through a user-defined CSV subroutine (a Tefigel script):

   [call] csv_file_process(<CSV-file>,<CSV-subroutine>,<value-separator>)

16.3 - Description        top

The built-in subroutine csv_file_process reads the <CSV-file> and processes each line of its contents through the user-defined Tefigel script <CSV-subroutine>. Both <CSV-file> and <CSV-subroutine> are specified as <file-reference>'s. Parameter <value-separator> specifies the character separating each value in each line of <CSV-file>.

When processing <CSV-file>, Tefigel calls for each input line the specified <CSV-subroutine> passing the input line as a <parameter-list>, so that each value from the input line appears as a distinct input argument to the <CSV-subroutine>. Tefigel automatically sets the <special-function> argdelim to <value-separator>.
