How to use two different comma type?

[odg0318]

Hello.
I am trying to parse two csv files that have different comma type; ",", "\t", in a program.
I injected below code to change default separator.

        gocsv.SetCSVReader(func(in io.Reader) gocsv.CSVReader {
                r := csv.NewReader(in)
                r.Comma = '\t'
                return r
        })

It seems like working fine but doesn't.
The csv with tab could be parsed well but at the same time one with comma not.
In my opinion, the same reader is used in a program.

How can I use different reader on each csv file?

Hello,

What you're doing setting the Comma to '\t' then you're setting it to ',' and it does not work, have I understood it right?

In my program, two kinds of csv files using comma or tab are parsed at the same time.
But only one reader can be set via your library and so it is impossible tha gocsv parses both of them.

Yes, this is also a problem that I have with this library :( Unfortunately when using two different readers in 2 goroutines it won't work because it's global.

did anyone found how to change comma type while using this library
if err := gocsv.UnmarshalFile(csvFile, &clients); err != nil { // Load clients from file
reqlog.Println("error", err)
return
}

The problem is the usage of global variables which is generally bad coding style. Someone should make a pull request to fix this.
