public enum CSVReadState
extends java.lang.Enum<CSVReadState>

enumeration of the finite state automaton used to read CSV files.

We don't put more logic here since enums are static, and we need separate state for separate CSVReaders.

SEEKING_FIELD
          parser : we don't yet know if there is another non-comment field on the line.
SEEKING_START
          parser: We are in blanks before a field that we know is there, possibly empty, because we have seen the comma after the previous field.
SKIPPING_TAIL
          parser: We are in blanks after a quoted field looking for the separator

Method Detail

values

public static CSVReadState[] values()
Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
for (CSVReadState c : CSVReadState.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:
an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static CSVReadState valueOf(java.lang.String name)
Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:
name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
Returns:
the enum constant with the specified name
Throws:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null
