## Additional Inherited Members

Protected Member Functions 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.

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

## Detailed Description

The CsvIterator class allows CSV sources to be iterated on a record basis. The source of the input data is either a AbstractLineIterator object or an InputStream object.
