Class FileLoader

java.lang.Object

nl.liacs.timeseries.main.FileLoader

public class FileLoader
extends java.lang.Object

FileLoader tries to load a file, and attempts to create a valid Table based in the data it parses.

Data should be in a plain text format, and can be delimited by a comma, tab or semicolon. All rows are expected to consist of the same number of columns, and therefore , all columns are expected consist of the same number of items.

Data types other than numbers and a limited set of date formats are not supported. Any item that can not be parsed as a double or a valid date, will be set to 0.0.

Whenever a column name is encountered that is already present, a number will be appended to the name, as to make it unique.

The following date formats are allowed:
yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS,
dd-MM-yy HH:mm:ss.SSS,
dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss.SSS.
