Reading a CSV file with semicolon as delimiter

[lukasleitsch]

With the release 3.0 the useDelimiter() was removed. The SimpleExcelWriter class allows defining an alternative delimiter.

It seems that the SimpleExcelReader don't offer a way to use an alternative delimiter.

Is there a way to read a CSV file with semicolon as delimiter which I am overlooking?

The method is still there. I also didn't find it in the docs, but I just used it and it works as expected.

Yes, you are right. ->useDelelimiter is still available on SimpleExcelReader.

SimpleExcelReader::create(storage_path($file))
            ->useDelimiter(';')

Just stumbled upon this, the documentation README.md is out of date and should to be updated to the newest v3.
