Q mode / utilities to quickly load a csv file - for more exhaustive analysis of the csv contents see csvguess.q / 2009.09.20 - updated to match latest csvguess.q / .csv.colhdrs[file] - return a list of colhdrs from file / info:.csv.info[file] - return a table of information about the file / columns are: / c - column name; ci - column index; t - load type; mw - max width; / dchar - distinct characters in values; rule - rule that caught the type / maybe - needs checking, _could_ be say a date, but perhaps just a float? / .csv.info0[file;onlycols] - like .csv.info except that it only analyses <onlycols> / example: / info:.csv.info0[file;(.csv.colhdrs file)like"*price"] / info:.csv.infolike[file;"*price"] / show delete from info where t=" " / .csv.data[file;info] - use the info from .csv.info to read the data / .csv.data10[file;info] - like .csv.data but only returns the first 10 rows / bulkload[file;info] - bulk loads file into table DATA (which must be already defined :: DATA:() ) / .csv.read[file]/read10[file] - for when you don't care about checking/tweaking the <info> before reading \d .csv DELIM:"," ZAPHDRS:0b / lowercase and remove _ from colhdrs (junk characters are always removed) WIDTHHDR:25000 / number of characters read to get the header READLINES:222 / number of lines read and used to guess the types SYMMAXWIDTH:11 / character columns narrower than this are stored as symbols SYMMAXGR:10 / max symbol granularity% before we give up and keep as a * string FORCECHARWIDTH:30 / every field (of any type) with values this wide or more is forced to character "*" DISCARDEMPTY:0b / completely ignore empty columns if true else set them to "C" CHUNKSIZE:50000000 / used in fs2 (modified .Q.fs) k)nameltrim:{$[~@x;.z.s'x;~(*x)in aA:.Q.a,.Q.A;(+/&\~x in aA)_x;x]} k)fs2:{[f;s]((-7!s)>){[f;s;x]i:1+last@&0xa=r:1:(s;x;CHUNKSIZE);f@`\:i#r;x+i}[f;s]/0j} cleanhdrs:{{$[ZAPHDRS;lower x except"_";x]}x where x in DELIM,.Q.an} cancast:{nw:x$"";if[not x in"BXCS";nw:(min 0#;max 0#;::)@\:nw];$[not any nw in xjQuery(11&count y)#y;$[11<count y;not any nw in x$y;1b];0b]} read:{[file]data[file;info[file]]} read10:{[file]data10[file;info[file]]} colhdrs:{[file] `$nameltrim DELIM vs cleanhdrs first read0(file;0;1+first where 0xa=read1(file;0;WIDTHHDR))} data:{[file;info] (exec c from info where not t=" ")xcol(exec t from info;enlist DELIM)0:file} data10:{[file;info] data[;info](file;0;1+last 11#where 0xa=read1(file;0;15*WIDTHHDR))} info0:{[file;onlycols] colhdrs:`$nameltrim DELIM vs cleanhdrs first head:read0(file;0;1+last where 0xa=read1(file;0;WIDTHHDR));
