Element Detail

resources

String[] resources

The CSV classpath resources to use as the sources of arguments; must not be empty.

encoding

String encoding

The encoding to use when reading the CSV files; must be a valid charset.

Defaults to "UTF-8".

See Also:

StandardCharsets

Default:

"UTF-8"

lineSeparator

String lineSeparator

The line separator to use when reading the CSV files; must consist of 1 or 2 characters.

Defaults to "\n".

Default:

"\n"

delimiter

char delimiter

The column delimiter character to use when reading the CSV files.

This is an alternative to delimiterString() and cannot be used in conjunction with delimiterString().

Defaults implicitly to ',', if neither delimiter attribute is explicitly set.

Default:

'\u0000'

delimiterString

@API(status=EXPERIMENTAL,
     since="5.6")
String delimiterString

The column delimiter string to use when reading the CSV files.

This is an alternative to delimiter() and cannot be used in conjunction with delimiter().

Defaults implicitly to ",", if neither delimiter attribute is explicitly set.

Since:

5.6

Default:

""

numLinesToSkip

@API(status=EXPERIMENTAL,
     since="5.1")
int numLinesToSkip

The number of lines to skip when reading the CSV files.

Typically used to skip header lines.

Defaults to 0.

Since:

5.1

Default:

0

emptyValue

@API(status=EXPERIMENTAL,
     since="5.5")
String emptyValue

The empty value to use when reading the CSV files.

This value replaces quoted empty strings read from the input.

Defaults to "".

Since:

5.5

Default:

""

nullValues

@API(status=EXPERIMENTAL,
     since="5.6")
String[] nullValues

A list of strings that should be interpreted as null references.

For example, you may wish for certain values such as "N/A" or "NIL" to be converted to null references.

Please note that unquoted empty values will always be converted to null references regardless of the value of this nullValues attribute; whereas, a quoted empty string will be treated as an emptyValue().

Defaults to {}.

Since:

5.6

Default:

{}
