Apostrophe in CSV file about chcsvparser

[rrosendahl]

Okay, interesting. I did some more digging and found out this issue exists with certain characters:

• 8217 (decimal) - which looks like a semicolon, well, almost
• ė - french characters.
  
  
  Not sure if this is an encoding issue or related?
  BTW: How can one specify the encoding when using
  arrayWithContentsOfDelimitedURL:(NSURL *)fileURL options:(CHCSVParserOptions)options delimiter:(unichar)delimiter ?

Is there a fix or hack to avoid this? I have a .csv which I can't parse beyond the first apostrophe, when I try to use:

rows = [NSMutableArray arrayWithContentsOfCSVURL:pathToFile];

Thanks!

This is how I managed to force encoding, bit awkward but works:

// filename starts with one "/", so add "file://" with only two slashes
NSString *urlPath = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"file://%@", filename];
NSInputStream *stream = [NSInputStream inputStreamWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:urlPath]];
NSStringEncoding encoding = NSUTF8StringEncoding;
CHCSVParser *p = [[CHCSVParser alloc] initWithInputStream:stream usedEncoding:&encoding delimiter:'\t'];
p.delegate = self;
[p parse];

However I haven't yet been able to fix input syntax problems while parsing, it fails at first (unexpected) unicode character. Still trying, but considering going back to old parser.
