Throws:

IllegalInputException

splitCSV

public static String[] splitCSV(String s) throws IllegalInputException

Converts a single string (such as a line of CSV file) into an array of strings. Splits a string by commas, with a primitive attempt to take care of nested quotes. This method interprets "" as an escaped ". This is appropriate, for example, for CSV files saved from Google Spreadsheets.

Throws:

IllegalInputException

escape

public static String escape(String s)

Processes all Strings for writing into a CSV file (as one line)

escapeAndwriteToFile

public static void escapeAndwriteToFile(String[][] lines, File f) throws IOException
