/**
|
|
* Convert data in CSV (comma separated value) format to a javascript array.
|
|
*
|
|
* Values are separated by a comma, or by a custom one character delimeter.
|
|
* Rows are separated by a new-line character.
|
|
*
|
|
* Leading and trailing spaces and tabs are ignored.
|
|
* Values may optionally be enclosed by double quotes.
|
|
* Values containing a special character (comma's, double-quotes, or new-lines)
|
|
* must be enclosed by double-quotes.
|
|
* Embedded double-quotes must be represented by a pair of consecutive
|
|
* double-quotes.
|
|
*
|
|
* Example usage:
|
|
* var csv = '"x", "y", "z"\n12.3, 2.3, 8.7\n4.5, 1.2, -5.6\n';
|
|
* var array = csv2array(csv);
|

|
*
|
|
* @param {string} data The data in CSV format.
|
|
* @param {string} delimeter [optional] a custom delimeter. Comma ',' by default
|
|
* The Delimeter must be a single character.
|
|
* @return {Array} array A two dimensional array containing the data
|
|
* @throw {String} error The method throws an error when there is an
|
|
* error in the provided data.
