Member Function Documentation

constructor() [1/2]

CsvUtil::CsvStringWriter::constructor

(

*hash

opts

)

creates the CsvStringWriter single-type mode with content in the memory

Parameters

opts	AbstractCsvWriter Constructor Option Hash Overview

Exceptions

CSVSTRINGITER-ERROR

in the case of incorrect options

constructor() [2/2]

CsvUtil::CsvStringWriter::constructor	(	hash	spec,
		hash	opts
	)

creates the CsvStringWriter single-type mode with content in the memory

Parameters

spec	a hash of field and type definitions; see Option Field Hash for more information
opts	AbstractCsvWriter Constructor Option Hash Overview

Exceptions

CSVSTRINGITER-ERROR

in the case of incorrect options

write() [1/2]

string CsvUtil::CsvStringWriter::write

(

list

l

)

Stream the contents of the list and return CSV-formatted output as a string.

Parameters

l	a list of input data to format as CSV output

Returns

the CSV-formatted output string corresponding to the input data

The list has to contain List or Hash elements that can be formatted according to the CSV definition

Exceptions

CSVFILEWRITER-DATA-ERROR

when the data does not fit defined column constraints or when the list elements have the wrong type or values

write() [2/2]

string CsvUtil::CsvStringWriter::write

(

Qore::AbstractIterator

iterator

)

Stream iterator and return a CSV-formatted output string.

Parameters

iterator

an iterator to stream data

Returns

the CSV-formatted output string corresponding to the input data

The iterator has to contain List or Hash as a return value of getValue() method.

Exceptions

CSVFILEWRITER-DATA-ERROR

when the data does not fit defined column constraints or when getValue does not return list or hash
