> I ran the code from the attached SO issue and yes it doesn't detect semicolon
> separated files. The reason is this line in {{TextAndCSVParser.java}}:
> {code:java}
> private static final char[] DEFAULT_DELIMITERS = new char[]\{',', '\t'};
> {code}
> This is later used by {{CSVSniffer}}. For some reason the other delimiters
> (pipe, colon and semicolon) aren't in that array, although they are in
> {{CHAR_TO_STRING_DELIMITER_MAP}}. I modified {{DEFAULT_DELIMITERS}} and now
> it works for semicolon.
> Can I change this by adding the missing delimiters or was there a reason that
> I missed? Proposed change would change CSVSniffer so that delimiters is a set
> and then pass {{CHAR_TO_STRING_DELIMITER_MAP.keySet()}}.
