Re: [gambit-list] fast csv parser (libcsv wrapped for gambit)

I stand corrected.

It does read into a buffer, then parse one character at a time. Perhaps my function is slow because I read one character at a time instead of reading into a buffer.

Based on my very quick reading, it looks like libcsv doesn't allow embedded newlines, doesn't handle odd end-of-line conventions, and hard codes the comma as field separator. Perhaps my code is slower because it does all these things?

Hi Phil,

I might be missing something, but I think it does everything except allow other field seperators. It also parses one character at a time. See the 'parse_csv' c function in: http://www.phildawes.net/2007/gambit-csv/0.1/csv.scm

Cheers,
