I don't understand this is the readme, under Issues; "It won't cope with multiple delimiter characters between fields as might be seen in a whitespace delimited file. Instead it'll think there's lots of empty fields."
Rows defined as; "street","nr","zip","city"
Data; "Oneway Street", "1",,"Toontown"
The multiple delimiters should result in an empty field 'zip' in this case, so that is expected behavior, not an 'issue' imo. What am I missing?
