Feature request - arbitrary line delimiters
I'd like to be able to specify my own line delimiter (could be just a single character). I have a 200Mb file with no newlines in it that I'd like to read backwards, splitting on a bracket character. Would this be an easy change to implement?
(NB, currently I'm doing this in Perl using https://metacpan.org/pod/File::ReadBackwards)
Hmm.. currently, it's not super trivial to support this.
Partially, we support a file with different line endings. The decision to support this feature makes this hard to accommodate immediately.
I am keeping an eye open to see if there's an easier way to get this feature in.
OK, thanks for responding. I'll keep on using the perl library for the moment then.
Hi, I request to know if there were any updates on the above requested feature. I am in a similar situation where I'd like to be able to specify my own line delimiter. Has it been implemented? Any leads ?? @RobinNil
