Firstly, what a great module, thanks! I've always found it reliable and effective.
It would be handy if string() returned the string read by getline().
Although this does seem to work...
use Text::CSV_XS;
use IO::File; # tell/seek fails if i omit this line
my $file = "1,2,3\n4,5,6\n7,8,9\n10,11,12\n13,14,15";
open (my $io, '<', \$file); # Open filehandle to in memory file
my $csv = Text::CSV_XS->new();
while (1) {
my $start = tell($io);
my $colref = $csv->getline($io);
last unless $colref;
print "Array: @$colref\n";
my $length = tell($io) - $start;
seek($io, $start, 0);
read($io, my $string, $length);
print "String: <$string>\n";
}
What do you think? Would it be possible for Text::CSV_XS to return the string more efficiently?
I've also wondered whether eol would always be limited to a finite set of predefined strings?
Thanks again.
Steve

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
