Interface RowProcessor

public interface RowProcessor

This is the interface for processors for an array of Strings read by the CSVReader before> they are validated.

This should only be used if you have a very good understanding and full control of the data being processed or something you want applied to every column in the row.

WARNING - using a processor can change the string in ways that could make it impossible to be processed or make it into a different format than what you are expecting based on the settings of the parser and reader. So great care must be taken when creating and using a RowProcessor.

NOTE - Because of the potential problems a bad processor can cause we will close down any bug reports created for opencsv where a RowProcessor is involved with the recommendation they be reopened as a support request.
