LenientCSV

Ruby CSV parser supporting both RFC 4180 double double-quote and unix-style backslash escaping.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'lenientcsv'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install lenientcsv

Usage

csv = <<<-EOS
some,fields
in,"a"
"c
\"s""
v",file
EOS

LevientCSV.new(csv).each do |row|
  puts csv.inspect
end

# ["some", "fields"]
# ["in", "a"]
# ["c\n\"s\"\nv", "file"]

Only supports feeding in strings at the moment, I'd like to make it lazily consume IO objects, too.

The parser is an enumerable so you can #select/#take/#to_a/etc
