Re: [NTG-context] CSV scanners built in ConTeXt - feature or bug?

Hans and Alan, Thanks for the reply. Now it works properly. I would like to ask if you're planning to fix file util-prs.lua in a future release of standalone ConTeXt. As for me, I'd rather vote for as the default option other option, ie which does not stop on a blank line ie. not how it's setup now (ie personally I'd rather vote strict=true would mean process all lines of CSV file and strict=false mean stop processing on blank line), but I will take into account whatever alternative and consequently I would take into account this options for my own library. Alan writes about this behavior as like metapost feature. Personally, I think that the CSV file is basically a plain text file and a blank line in it has its place. The end of the text file is usually marked by <eof> character, so I guess there's no reason to terminate processing before the file really ends.

i'm not sure about the default as the standard might demand quit at empty line so that needs to be figured out (not by me therefore by you) Stop on empty line is a very MetaPost-like feature.

I don't have an opinion as to what should be expected for CSV, but MP thus allows one to pick-off sets of data by successive reads to one file.
