Happy Holidays!
Just want to make sure I'm not missing something. Seems like this library ONLY supports parsing delimited, and not fixed-width files?
We work with a lot of fixed-width files at my company and they look like this:
100A999XYZTESTDATA123456789
200Z888ABCTESTTWO 987654231
300X777ZZZHELLO 111111111
400Q666AAATESTING 222222222
These files don't use a delimiter. Instead, parsing requires knowing the fixed width of each "field" within the line (3 digits, 1 char, 3 digits, 3 chars, 8 chars, 9 digits, etc).
Unfortunately we are stuck using these from lots of (mainframe based) vendors in our industry :-(
Let me know if I'm being an idiot :-D Otherwise I'd propose changing the developer "read me" to clarify.
Thank you and have a happy new year!
Chris
