Detailed Description
CSVReader interface.
A very simple CSV reader.
It works as any other RowReader, but open must be called once before the first read operation.
Using the format RFC 4180.
Except: leading and trailing spaces, adjacent to CSV separator character, are trimmed.
You can use your own separators and quote characters. By default the separator is the comma (,) and the quote character is the double quotes (").
Fields with multiple lines can be allowed (and the maximum lines specified), but the default is a single line.
The locale string can be used to set the language, country and the file encoding. The format must be "[language_territory][.codeset]". But only the file encoding is being used in the current version.
The languages supported are: "en_US", "es_ES" and "ca_ES".
The file encodings supported are: "utf8" and "iso88591".
For example:
To don't change the default locales, use an empty string: "".
To read a file in utf8 with the default language settings use ".utf8".
To read a file in iso88591 with English language use: "en_US.iso88591".
