Detailed Description

Represents a single row of the CSV file.

The object of this type can create the string holding a collection of the comma separated values, representing a row of the CSV file. It allows the selection of any character as a separator for the values. The default separator is the comma symbol.

The CSVRow object can be constructed in two different ways. The first option is that the caller creates an object holding empty values and then adds values one by one. Note that it is possible to either add a string or a number. The number is converted to the appropriate text representation. When all the values are added, the text representation of the row can be obtained by calling CSVRow::render function or output stream operator.

The CSVRow object can be also constructed by parsing a row of a CSV file. In this case, the separator has to be known in advance and passed to the class constructor. The constructor will call the CSVRow::parse function internally to tokenize the CSV row and create the collection of values. The class accessors can be then used to retrieve individual values.

This class is meant to be used by the CSVFile class to manipulate individual rows of the CSV file.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ CSVRow() [1/2]

isc::util::CSVRow::CSVRow ( const size_t cols = 0,
const char separator = ',' )

Constructor, creates the raw to be used for output.

Creates CSV row with empty values. The values should be later set using the CSVRow::writeAt functions. When the CSVRow::render is called, the text representation of the row will be created using a separator character specified as an argument of this constructor.

This constructor is exception-free.

Parameters
colsNumber of values in the row.
separatorCharacter used as a separator between values in the text representation of the row.

Definition at line 19 of file csv_file.cc.

◆ CSVRow() [2/2]

isc::util::CSVRow::CSVRow ( const std::string & text,
const char separator = ',' )

Constructor, parses a single row of the CSV file.

This constructor should be used to parse a single row of the CSV file. The separator being used for the particular row needs to be known in advance and specified as an argument of the constructor if other than the default separator is used in the row being parsed. An example string to be parsed by this function looks as follows: "foo,bar,foo-bar".

This constructor is exception-free.

Parameters
textText representation of the CSV row.
separatorCharacter being used as a separator in a parsed file.

◆ append()

template<typename T >
void isc::util::CSVRow::append ( const T value)
inline

Appends the value as a new column.

Parameters
valueValue to be written.
Template Parameters
TType of the value being written.

◆ escapeCharacters()

std::string isc::util::CSVRow::escapeCharacters ( const std::string & orig_str,
const std::string & characters )
static

Returns a copy of a string with special characters escaped.

Parameters
orig_strstring which may contain characters that require escaping.
characterslist of characters which require escaping.

The escaped characters will use the following format:

/// &#x{xx}
/// 
where {xx} is the two digit hexadecimal ASCII value of the character
escaped. A comma, for example is:

&\#x2c

@return A copy of the original string with special characters escaped.

Returns number of values in a CSV row.

Definition at line 85 of file csv_file.h.

◆ operator!=()

bool isc::util::CSVRow::operator!= ( const CSVRow & other) const
inline

Unequality operator.

Two CSV rows are unequal when their string representation is unequal. This includes the order of fields, separator etc.

Parameters
otherObject to compare to.

◆ parse()

void isc::util::CSVRow::parse ( const std::string & line)

Parse the CSV file row.

This function parses a string containing CSV values and assigns them to the values_ private container. These values can be retrieved from the container by calling CSVRow::readAt function.

This function is exception-free.

Parameters
lineString holding a row of comma separated values.

◆ readAndConvertAt()

template<typename T >
T isc::util::CSVRow::readAndConvertAt ( const size_t at) const
inline

Retrieves a value from the internal container.

This method is reads a value from the internal container and converts this value to the type specified as a template parameter. Internally it uses boost::lexical_cast.

Parameters
atIndex of the value in the container. The values are indexed from 0, where 0 corresponds to the left-most value in the CSV file row.
Template Parameters
Ttype of the value to convert to.
Returns
Converted value.
Exceptions
CSVFileErrorif the index is out of range or if the boost::bad_lexical_cast is thrown by the boost::lexical_cast.

◆ readAt()

std::string isc::util::CSVRow::readAt ( const size_t at) const

Retrieves a value from the internal container.

Parameters
atIndex of the value in the container. The values are indexed from 0, where 0 corresponds to the left-most value in the CSV file row.
Returns
Value at specified index in the text form.
Exceptions
CSVFileErrorif the index is out of range. The number of elements being held by the container can be obtained using CSVRow::getValuesCount.

◆ readAtEscaped()

std::string isc::util::CSVRow::readAtEscaped ( const size_t at) const

Retrieves a value from the internal container, free of escaped characters.

Returns a copy of the internal container value at the given index which has had all escaped characters replaced with their unescaped values. Escaped characters embedded using the following format:

This function fetches the value at the given index and passes it into CSVRow::unescapeCharacters which replaces any escaped special characters with their unescaped form.

Parameters
atIndex of the value in the container. The values are indexed from 0, where 0 corresponds to the left-most value in the CSV file row.
