In our production development environment, we perform a lot of data transfers between diverse systems, and most of those transfers involve comma-delimited (.csv) data. So my first small Clojure applications have revolved around the clojure-csv library.
While learning Clojure I have seen the comment that using nth "stinks", because it creates dependencies. Wanting to do things in a Clojure way, I have a question. If I need to extract a number of columns of a spreadsheet to minimize the dataset and this happens as the application is reading in and initializing its data, what should I use to extract those columns other than nth? And, if I use a series first and rest, isn't that also positional? I've thought of ways to re-position the data initially, so comparison columns between two different spreadsheets that have one unique key column in common would be accessible with first, for example. However, I would still need to get at that data by column in order to reposition it, hence the need for nth. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
