Installation

CSV Manager is packaged in three forms:

• .jar installer
• .zip file
• .tgz file

.jar Installer

This is a self-extracting Java program. To install, double click on the .jar file and the installer will start. Follow the installer instructions to complete the installation. Alternatively, you can run the installer by executing the following command:

java -jar csv-s-sd-1-1.jar

.zip and .tgz Files

If you have downloaded CSV Manager as a .zip or .tgz file, then unpack the files using Winzip on Windows or

tar -xzf csv-s-sd-1-1.tgz

Integration

CSV Manager is a Java component supplied as a jar file. In order to access the component from your application, make sure that the lib/csvman.jar file is in your Java CLASSPATH, and you will be able to use the CsvManager class directly.

Here are two possible ways of setting your CLASSPATH: for the command prompt and for your IDE.

Command Prompt

On Windows, open the System applet from the Control Panel, and set the CLASSPATH as an environment variable. On UNIX systems such as Linux, you will need to edit a shell startup script such as .bash_profile, and add or edit the line export CLASSPATH=/path/to/csvman.jar. For more information, see the Sun Microsystems documentation on setting your CLASSPATH, for Windows, and for UNIX.

Eclipse and Other IDEs

In general, you have to specify the CLASSPATH for each project that you have created. For example, in Eclipse, open the project properties by right-clicking on the project name and go to the Java Build Path settings. Add csvman.jar as a Library jar. For other IDEs, you will have to perform a similar operation. Please refer to the documentation for your IDE.

After installation, the first thing you should do is read the Getting Started Guide, which will show you the basics of loading and saving CSV files.

"Your product actually did help a lot! I was able to accelerate my development time quite a bit and your service support was also real nice."

Luis Garcia,

"An event-based CSV parser is so much more flexible and elegant than the free alternatives that I found. We use it for applications which require a mixture of XML and CSV data. This requires a parser that performs well, uses memory efficiently, simplifies data access and accurately formats output data. We found the Ricebridge parser easy to work with, conspicuously well documented and capable of handling large (500kb+) files. That's a big thumbs up from all the Gaisan team."

"I would have spent all day trying to read CSV fields that contained commas. I bought your software about 15 minutes ago and my problem is ALREADY solved. Thank you very, very much for a quality piece of software."

"Ricebridge CSV Manager was really easy to integrate into our existing system, and has been completely reliable for data transfer, not to mention a big time saver!"
