解析具有未知分隔符号的csv文件

我必须编写(或使用现有的)csv解析库。

问题是文件以不同的格式上传,并带有不同的分隔符号,例如:

File1:
field1; field2; field3; field4
field1; field2; field3; field4

File2:
feld1, field2, field3, field4
feld1, field2, field3, field4

File3:
"field1", "field2", "field3", "field4"
"field1", "field2", "field3", "field4"

程序化地理解哪个符号是列的实际分隔符的最佳方法是什么?

我正在考虑用符号统计分析编写自己的方法,但也许有现有的解决方案?

我会使用正则表达式(希望不要像上次那样获得尽可能多的downvotes;))。我正在利用backreferences,它基本上允许使用以前捕获的组。只要每行使用相同的分隔符(不知道它是否有用),您也可以在同一文件中使用不同的分隔符。

所以,这就是我构建正则表达式的方式:

string csvItem = @"[""']?\w+[""']?";
string separator = @"\s*[,\.;-]\s*";
string pattern = string.Format(@"^({0}(?<sep>{1}){0})+(\k<sep>{0})*$",
    csvItem, separator);

csvItem是csv中的项目(列)。它可以包含小写或大写字母,数字和下划线,并且可以选择用“或”包围。

分隔符分隔项目。它由以下字符之一,。; - 和零个或多个间距字符组成。

模式表示有效行由至少两个由分隔符分隔的csvItem组成。注意反向引用 - &gt; \ķ

在这里。这是测试文件的内容:

field1; field2; field3; field4
field1; field2; field3; field4

feld1, field2, field3, field4
feld1, field2, field3, field4

"field1", "field2", "field3", "field4"
"field1", "field2", "field3", "field4"

示例控制台项目:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.IO;
using System.Text.RegularExpressions;

namespace csvParser {
    class Program {
        static void Main( string[ ] args ) {
            var lines = File.ReadAllLines( @"e:\prova.csv" );

            for ( int i = 0; i < lines.Length; i++ ) {
                string csvItem = @"[""']?\w+[""']?";
                string separator = @"\s*[,\.;-]\s*";
                string pattern = string.Format(@"^({0}(?<sep>{1}){0})+(\k<sep>{0})*$", csvItem, separator);

                var rex = new Regex( pattern, RegexOptions.Singleline );
                var match = rex.Match( lines[ i ] );

                if ( match == null ) {
                    Console.WriteLine( "No match on line {0}", i );
                    continue;
                }
                else {
                    string sep = match.Groups[ "sep" ].Value;

                    Console.WriteLine( "--- Line #{0} ---------------", i );
                    Console.WriteLine( "Line is '{0}'", lines[ i ] );
                    Console.WriteLine( "Separator is '{0}'", sep );

                    Console.WriteLine( "Items are:" );
                    foreach ( string item in lines[ i ].Split( sep ) )
                        Console.WriteLine( "\t'{0}'", item );

                    Console.WriteLine( );
                }
            }

            Console.ReadKey( );
        }
    }

    public static partial class Extension {
        public static string[ ] Split( this string str, string sep ) {
            return str.Split( new string[ ] { sep }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries );
        }
    }
}

最后输出:

--- Line #0 ---------------
Line is 'field1; field2; field3; field4'
Separator is '; '
Items are:
        'field1'
        'field2'
        'field3'
        'field4'

--- Line #1 ---------------
Line is 'field1; field2; field3; field4'
Separator is '; '
Items are:
        'field1'
        'field2'
        'field3'
        'field4'

--- Line #2 ---------------
Line is ''
Separator is ''
Items are:

--- Line #3 ---------------
Line is 'feld1, field2, field3, field4'
Separator is ', '
Items are:
        'feld1'
        'field2'
        'field3'
        'field4'

--- Line #4 ---------------
Line is 'feld1, field2, field3, field4'
Separator is ', '
Items are:
        'feld1'
        'field2'
        'field3'
        'field4'

--- Line #5 ---------------
Line is ''
Separator is ''
Items are:

--- Line #6 ---------------
Line is '"field1", "field2", "field3", "field4"'
Separator is ', '
Items are:
        '"field1"'
        '"field2"'
        '"field3"'
        '"field4"'

--- Line #7 ---------------
Line is '"field1", "field2", "field3", "field4"'
Separator is ', '
Items are:
        '"field1"'
        '"field2"'
        '"field3"'
        '"field4"'

不幸的是,正则表达式也会捕获空行。试图解决它:)
