> The Apache Commons CSV library can deal with comments by attaching the comment to the following record.
> It does not seem possible to access comments that are before the header line ("header comments"), or after the last record ("trailer comments")
> I feel this would be a useful enhancement to the current comment-handling features of version 1.9.
> I have not been able to find mention of this in other JIRA tickets.
> I have attached a patch implementing this, for discussion purposes. (n.b. I had trouble with git showing spurious ^M at the end of changed lines in CSVParserTest.java which I could not get rid of)
> This adds methods String CSVParser::getHeaderComment(), String CSVParser::getTrailerComment(), bool CSVParser::hasHeaderComment() and bool CSVParser::hasTrailerComment() . The last two could be omitted assuming a missing comment would return a null String.
