	Returns the character encoding for the file.

string	getFileName ()
	Returns the file path/name used to open the file.

hash< Qore::StatInfo >	hstat ()
	Returns a StatInfo hash of the underlying file.

auto	memberGate (string name)
	calls AbstractCsvIterator::memberGate()

list	stat ()
	Returns a stat list of the underlying file.

*list< string >	getHeaders ()
	Returns the current record headers or NOTHING if no headers have been detected or saved yet. More...

*list< string >	getHeaders (string type)
	Returns a list of headers for the given record or NOTHING if the record is not recognized. More...

string	getQuote ()
	Returns the current quote string. More...

string	getRawLine ()
	Returns the current line 'as it is', i.e. the original string. More...

list< *string >	getRawLineValues ()
	Returns the list of raw string values of the current line. More...

hash< auto >	getRecord (bool extended)
	Returns the current record as a hash. More...

hash< auto >	getRecord ()
	Returns the current record as a hash. More...

auto	getRecordList ()
	Returns the current record as a list. More...

*hash< string, AbstractDataField >	getRecordType ()
	Returns the description of the record type, if any.

string	getSeparator ()
	Returns the current separator string. More...

hash< auto >	getValue ()
	Returns the current record as a hash. More...

string	identifyType (list< auto > rec)
	Identify a fixed-length line type using identifyTypeImpl(); may be overridden if necessary. More...

int	index ()
	Returns the row index being iterated, which does not necessarily correspond to the line number when there are header rows and blank lines are skipped. More...

int	lineNumber ()
	Returns the current iterator line number in the file (the first line is line 1) or 0 if not pointing at a valid element. More...

auto	memberGate (string name)
	Returns the given column value for the current row. More...

bool	next ()
	Moves the current line / record position to the next line / record; returns False if there are no more lines to iterate. More...

	peek ()
	Reads a single row without moving the index position. More...

Private Attributes
string	m_file_path
	the path of the file being iterated

Private Attributes inherited from CsvUtil::AbstractCsvIterator
const	Options
	valid options for the object (a hash for quick lookups of valid keys)

Additional Inherited Members
Private Member Methods inherited from CsvUtil::AbstractCsvIterator
list< *string >	getLineAndSplit ()
	Read line split by separator/quote into list.

*string	identifyTypeImpl (list< auto > rec)
	Identify a input record, given the raw line string. This method performs a lookup to a precalculated table based on number of records (see constructor()). In case different criteria are needed, eg. when two line types in a spec have the same record number and no unique resolving rule are specified, this method needs to be overridden, otherwise it will throw an exception because the precalculated mapping will be empty. More...

hash< auto >	parseLine ()
	Parses a line in the file and returns a processed list of the fields.

	prepareFieldsFromHeaders (*list headers)
	match headers provided at csv header or in options, never called for multi-type because header_names is False

	processCommonOptions (*hash opts, int C_OPTx)
	process common options and and assing internal fields

	processSpec (hash spec)
	process specification and assing internal data for resolving

Detailed Description

The CsvFileIterator class allows CSV files to be iterated on a record basis.

The class is deprecated as CsvIterator provides more flexibility.
