> It's not uncommon that we use multiple-characters delimiter to separate columns in CVS: such as: [|]
> Sometimes, we have no choice as third-party defines the csv format like that.
> It would be great if apache commons.csv supports this function.
> I did some google search: seems there is no java library that supports use multiple-characters as the column separator.
> But the C# CsvHelper does
