Hi!
I run into a problem reading in certain CSV files. I nailed it down
to the following example:
\starttext
\startluacode
local mycsvsplitter = utilities.parsers.rfc4180splitter{
separator = ",",
quote = '"'}
-- fails with
-- token call, execute: [ctxlua]:11: attempt to index a nil value (local
'tablerows')
-- local mycsv = io.loaddata("A.csv")
-- works
local mycsv = io.loaddata("B.csv")
local tablerows = mycsvsplitter(mycsv)
context(tablerows[1][1])
context(" ")
context(tablerows[1][2])
\stopluacode
\stoptext
The compilation fails with
token call, execute: [ctxlua]:11: attempt to index a nil value (local
'tablerows')
The two files are attached. The only difference is that:
A.csv: Unicode text, UTF-8 (with BOM) text
B.csv: ASCII text
Somehow the rfc4180splitter chokes on UTF-8 with BOM files.
io.loaddata succeeds as far as I can tell. Is there a way to read in
those files without pre-processing them?
