CSV 2.0 is a free pair of Java classes CSVReader and CSVWriter for reading and writing CSV (Comma Separated Value) formatted files. Also handles tab-separated and semicolon-separated files. This is the format use by Microsoft Word and other Microsoft products. This version does not support # embedded comments. Note that CSV files are perhaps 10 times slower to process than binary files. They are for data interchange with other languages or when human-readibility or editability is important. If you want speed, use binary format files, e.g. DataInputStream or possibly the convenient but slower ObjectInputStream. Copyright 2002-2004 Canadian Mind Products. May be used freely for any purpose but military. Version 2.0 adds a getInt, getLong, getFloat and getDouble method to read and convert the text.
