There is a lot of detail in this example, perhaps a little bit too much detail?

Sure. I agree it's on the detailed side. I don't think multiple files helps that, tho, since then there'd be repeated code (directories stuff) and require cross referencing or multiple files anyway.

There's a reason I used this much detail: Anyone doing anything substantial with IO will likely need to know more than this level of detail, and knowing less is not that useful. (That's IME)

I'll consider making changes depending on the answer to this q:

• If a new dev came along and read this, would they be worse off?

IMO, whether the example is long or not isn't the main issue. The main issue is that the only way to get much of the info in this file is trial-and-error or looking thru other ppl's plugins. The latter is problematic sometimes b/c licensing.

The other big issue this solves IME is that there are details like how to actually open a file that are missing from the main docs.

This repository was mostly made as a place to show short and concise examples

FYI "short and concise" is not mentioned anywhere in the repository. The readme implies that comments and explanation are more important than conciseness.

Right, but do we really need to explain the concept and how to write code to parse CSV? That seems a little out of scope for me.

No, that's fair enough. I'll trim it down and just mention that this sort of thing is useful for CSV stuff in a comment.

Now that this issue is implemented (see comments on that thread for more info) this could potentially be revisited?

yup

@codecat I think this is ready for review. It's much more streamlined now.
I noticed openplanet-nl/issues#161 while working on this, IDK if the folder-creation behavior (or lack of) is intended or not, but the script assumes that FromDataStorage is working as intended atm.
