Re: The future of Text::CSV_XS - TODO

Here's my X-Mas present:

0.80 - 2010-12-24

• Implement getline_all () and getaline_hr_all ()
• Fixed another parsing for eol = \r (RT#61525)

0.79 - 2010-11-26

• Use correct type for STRLEN (HP-UX/PA-RISC/32)
• More code coverage
• EOF unreliable when line-end missing at eof

0.78 - 2010-11-26

• Version 0.77 broke MacOS exported CSV files with only \r

The two new methods:

• getline_all

     $arrayref = $csv->getline_all ($io);
     $arrayref = $csv->getline_all ($io, $offset);
     $arrayref = $csv->getline_all ($io, $offset, $length);
  

  This will return a reference to a list of getline ($io) results. In this call, keep_meta_info is disabled. If $offset is negative, as with splice (), only the last abs ($offset) records of $io are taken into consideration.

  Given a CSV file with 10 lines:

     lines call
     ----- ---------------------------------------------------------
     0..9  $csv->getline_all ($io)         # all
     0..9  $csv->getline_all ($io,  0)     # all
     8..9  $csv->getline_all ($io,  8)     # start at 8
     -     $csv->getline_all ($io,  0,  0) # start at 0 first 0 rows
     0..4  $csv->getline_all ($io,  0,  5) # start at 0 first 5 rows
     4..5  $csv->getline_all ($io,  4,  2) # start at 4 first 2 rows
     8..9  $csv->getline_all ($io, -2)     # last 2 rows
     6..7  $csv->getline_all ($io, -4,  2) # first 2 of last  4 rows
  

• getline_hr_all

     $arrayref = $csv->getline_hr_all ($io);
     $arrayref = $csv->getline_hr_all ($io, $offset);
     $arrayref = $csv->getline_hr_all ($io, $offset, $length);
  

  This will return a reference to a list of getline_hr ($io) results. In this call, keep_meta_info is disabled.
