DelimitedParser 1.0.0

Delimited Parser

DelimitedParser convert your delimited file text into a model class. Is a simple way to parse files with delimited format.

Getting Starter

Let's suppose that you have the following file delimited below:

TESTING_01;TESTING_02;TESTING_03
testing1;10;true
testing2;20;false
testing3;30;true
testing4;40;false
testing5;50;true

And you need to convert this format into a model class. With this library you can to do that easily. The first step is create a model with a custom attribute called "DelimitedHeader", the custom attribute "DelimitedHeader" is the header name into a delimited file, the code below explain how to create this model.

using GenericParser.Attribute;

namespace GenericParser.Emulator
{
    public class TestingModel
    {
        [DelimitedHeader("TESTING_01")]
        public string TestingPropString { get; set; }

        [DelimitedHeader("TESTING_02", DefaultValue = 0)]
        public int TestingPropInt { get; set; }

        [DelimitedHeader("TESTING_03")]
        public bool TestingPropBool { get; set; }
    }
}

After you created a custom model, the only step after is create an instance of the class, passing you model type and informing you type of delimiter char

using GenericParser.DelimitedParser.Parser;

namespace GenericParser.Emulator
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            var filePath = @"C:\FileWithHeaderTesting.csv";

            var delimitedParser = new DelimitedParser<TestingModel>(filePath)
            {
                Delimitator = ';'
            };

            var model = delimitedParser.Parse();
        }
    }
}

If your delimited file there's no line "Header", not problem! It's also possible to use this library, instead of use the class "DelimitedParser", use the class "DelimitedWithoutHeaderParser", and than informing a string supposing a header into a delimited file:

using GenericParser.DelimitedParser.Parser;

namespace GenericParser.Emulator
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            var filePath = @"C:\FileWithoutHeaderTesting.csv";

            var delimitedParser = new DelimitedWithoutHeaderParser<TestingModel>(filePath)
            {
                Delimitator = ';',
                HeaderFile = "TESTING_01;TESTING_02;TESTING_03"
            };

            var model = delimitedParser.Parse();
        }
    }
}
