Parsing simple CSV

[kpym]

I am trying to parse a very simple csv file named test.csv:

clatcoor
47.6669
49.0783

with the following command (under Windows):

bafi -f csv -i test.csv -t '?{{.clatcoor}}'

but I get the following error:

 writeStdout: template: new:1:2: executing "new" at <.clatcoor>: can't evaluate field clatcoor in type []map[string]inter
face {}

Any idea what is goning on ? This error message is note very user friendly, imo. It looks like go panic.

Another question : how can I tel bafi that my csv is using a different field separator ?

Hi in this case the issue is that you have range of values so you have to iterate over range - I've tested it and it works with

.\bafi -f csv -i test.csv -t '?{{range .}}{{.clatcoor}}{{end}}'

I agree that better arror message would be nice, I'll enhance it in next versions

About separator - I will prepare some option to change separator in next version but currently it works only with CSV as specified in rfc4180 https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4180

Thanks for you answer an your work !

Field separator can now be defined by additional parameter -d https://mmalcek.github.io/bafi/#command-line-arguments
