I guess I don't quite see what you're asking for.
If I understand you right, here's how I would do your task today:
(def input-string (slurp "My File.csv"))
;And using my re-split fn...
(re-split input-string '(#"[\r\n]" #","))
This would return a list of rows & cols, and could then be manipulated
appropriately. You cold even do something like this:
(re-split input-string '({:pattern #"[\r\n]" :offset 1} #","))
And it would drop the first line, as this is usually header
information.
Could you give me an example of what you envision? What would a high
level call look like?
