Add ability to read only n-first columns

Open Misiu opened this issue 7 years ago • 0 comments

Hi there, first of all, thank You for creating this awesome library. It helped me a couple of times!

Right now I need to parse a file that has 32 columns (http://www.nbp.pl/banki_w_polsce/ewidencja/dz_bank_jorg.txt) I need only 6 first columns. By default, I'll get an error when I have fewer fields that columns.

I found a temporary solution that requires adding one extra field:

[FieldOrder(7)]
private string[] mDummyField;

This isn't a problem, but maybe this could be avoided? Ideally, FileHelpers should only populate class with fields that are there.

Is this doable? I'll look into source and try to find something, but a starting point would be helpful :)
