             Summary: Get remaining unformatted text
                 Key: CSV-155
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CSV-155
             Project: Commons CSV
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Parser
    Affects Versions: 1.1
            Reporter: Jason Steenstra-Pickens


I have the requirement where I need to parse the headers of a CSV string so that I can validate them and then remove those headers.

The problem is that the CSVParser creates an internal ExtendedBufferedReader from the given reader (which in my case is a StringReader). Reading the first record will read and buffer additional records so if I then try and read directly from the StringReader it does not return anything.

I either need to be able to pass in my own ExtendedBufferedReader (so would need to be made public) or have a new method on the CSVParser to be able to retrieve the remaining raw records.

The current workaround is to read all the records and then write all the records except the first back out to a StringWriter but this is a lot of unnecessary work and code.
