Small library to read csv files based on the header.
Download this repository in your local-projects directory of your quicklisp folder:
git clone https://github.com/OrganicProgramming/csv
Run
(ql:register-local-projects)
(ql:quickload :csv)
and you' re good to go!
To read the csv file with headers starting at line 3:
name;age;gender
john;20;Male
greg;24;Male
(csv:do-csv ("test.csv" ((nm "name")
(ag "age"))
;; start is zero based, so for headers on line 3, we set start = 2,
;; the default is start = 0 for headers starting at line 1
:start 2)
;; Bind vars nm and ag to values under the headers "name" and "age" respectively
(print (list nm ag)))
-Add support for different encodings.
-Add support for csv files without headers.
-Add tests and if good enough add to quicklisp for convenient download.
