Direct Known Subclasses:
  CSVShapeInfoFile

public class CSVFile
extends java.lang.Object

The CSVFile holds on to the contents of a CSV file.

NOTE: By default, the numbers that are found in the CSV file are converted to Doubles. Use the load(boolean) method to control this, especially if you are using the fields later as the key in a Hashtable.

Field Summary
`protected java.util.Vector` `headerRecord` The header record, if there is one
`protected boolean` `headersExist` Whether file has a line of column headers.
`protected java.util.Vector` `infoRecords` The records of the CSV file
`java.net.URL` `infoUrl` The location of the CSV file

Constructor Summary
`CSVFile(java.lang.String name)` Don't do anything special, since all defaults are set already
`CSVFile(java.net.URL url)` Don't do anything special, since all defaults are set already

Method Summary
`java.util.Vector` `getRecord(int recordnumber)` Return a particular Vector representing the contents of a record line in the CSV file.
`boolean` `isHeadersExist()` Get whether the first line should be considered as headers to each column.
`java.util.Iterator` `iterator()` Return an iterator, that can be used to traverse the records of the file.
`void` `loadData()` Reads the numbers and stores them as Doubles.
`void` `loadData(boolean readNumbersAsStrings)` Read the data in from the file, with the option of reading the numbers in the files as strings.
`void` `setHeadersExist(boolean set)` Set whether the first line should be considered as headers to each column.

    public CSVFile(java.net.URL url)
            throws java.net.MalformedURLException

  Don't do anything special, since all defaults are set already

Method Detail

### setHeadersExist

    public void setHeadersExist(boolean set)

  Set whether the first line should be considered as headers to each column.

### isHeadersExist

### getRecord

    public java.util.Vector getRecord(int recordnumber)

  Return a particular Vector representing the contents of a record line in the CSV file. The record choice is picked via the record number given -zero is the first one, and the header record, if it exists, does not count.
