Functions

func IsNull 

func IsNull(v string) bool

IsNull reports if the string reprents a missing value, e.g., "", "NA", "N/A".

func ParseBool 

func ParseBool(v string) (value bool, ok bool)

ParseBool parses a boolean string. E.g., "true", "y", "Y" returns (true, true). A unparsable string returns (false, false).

Types

type T 

type T struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

T is used to guess the type of a column in a TSV file.

The caller creates the object T for each column in the TSV file. It then feeds the values of the column through Add() incrementally. Once Add() has an unambiguous guess of the column type, it returns one of String, Float, Int, or Bool.

func (*T) Add 

func (t *T) Add(s string) Type

Add should be called with a column value found in the TSV file. It returns String,Float, or Int once it determines the column type. It returns Unknown if the type is still ambiguous.

func (*T) BestGuess 

func (t *T) BestGuess() Type

BestGuess can be called any time. It returns the most probable data type given the values seen so far.

type Type 

type Type uint8

Type defines possible types of a TSV column. 

const (
	String Type = iota
	Float
	Int
	Bool

	// Unknown is returned by Add() when its guess is not yet finalized.
	Unknown
)
