Module Biocaml_table.Row.Tags (.ml)

module Tags:
sig

Tags describe the actual format of the row stream. See also Biocaml_tags.t.
type t = [ `format of Biocaml_table.Row.t_type
       | `separator of char
       | `strict_about of [ `cell_type | `row_length ] ] list
The tags associated with table rows:
  • `separator c adds c in the list of separators used.
  • `strict_about something ensures that the format is fully compliant with something (example: otherwise the parser may ignore some errors to keep going).
  • `tail_format array describes the format of the columns of the row, if not provided everything is assumed to be `type_string. 

val separators : t -> char list
Get the list of separators defined in t.
val strict_row_length : t -> bool
Tell whether one should be strict about the minimal number of cells per row (defined with `format _).
val strict_cell_type : t -> bool
Tell whether one should be strict about the types of the cells (defined with `format _).
val format : t -> Biocaml_table.Row.t_type option
Get the defined format if any.
val default : t
The default tags define a loose TSV format.
val default_extension : t -> string
Give a file extension ("tsv", "csv", or "table").
val to_string : t -> string
Serialize tags.
val of_string : string ->
       (t, [> `table_row of [> `tags_of_string of exn ] ])
       Core.Result.t
Parse the description of the tags (for now S-Expressions).
val t_of_sexp : Sexplib.Sexp.t -> t
val sexp_of_t : t -> Sexplib.Sexp.t
