使用FasterCSV将不均匀的行转换为列

我有一个CSV数据文件,其中的行可能包含大量的500+列,而另一些则少得多。我需要转置它,以便每一行成为输出文件中的一列。问题是原始文件中的行可能不是都具有相同的列数,因此当我尝试数组的转置方法时,我得到:

  

`transpose':元素大小不同(12应该是5)(IndexError)

是否有替代的转置适用于不均匀的数组长度?

我会插入空值来填充矩阵中的空洞,例如:

a = [[1, 2, 3], [3, 4]]

# This would throw the error you're talking about
# a.transpose

# Largest row
size = a.max { |r1, r2| r1.size <=> r2.size }.size

# Enlarge matrix inserting nils as needed
a.each { |r| r[size - 1] ||= nil }

# So now a == [[1, 2, 3], [3, 4, nil]]
aa = a.transpose

# aa == [[1, 3], [2, 4], [3, nil]]

# Intitial CSV table data
csv_data = [ [1,2,3,4,5], [10,20,30,40], [100,200] ]

# Finding max length of rows
row_length = csv_data.map(&:length).max

# Inserting nil to the end of each row
csv_data.map do |row|
  (row_length - row.length).times { row.insert(-1, nil) }
end

# Let's check
csv_data
# => [[1, 2, 3, 4, 5], [10, 20, 30, 40, nil], [100, 200, nil, nil, nil]]

# Transposing...
transposed_csv_data = csv_data.transpose

# Hooray!
# => [[1, 10, 100], [2, 20, 200], [3, 30, nil], [4, 40, nil], [5, nil, nil]]
