+ |csvsimple| provides a simple \LaTeX\ interface for the processing of files with
+ comma separated values (CSV). |csvsimple| relies heavily on the key value
+ syntax from |pgfkeys| which results (hopefully) in an easy way of usage.
+ Filtering and table generation is especially supported. Since the package
+ is considered as a lightweight tool, there is no support for data sorting
+ or data base storage.
+\end{absquote}

+\section{Introduction}%
+The |csvsimple| package is applied to the processing of
+CSV\footnote{CSV file: file with comma separated values.} files.
+This processing is controlled by key value assignments according to the
+syntax of |pgfkeys| \cite{tantau:tikz}. Sample applications of the package
+are tabular lists, serial letters, and charts.
+
+An alternative to |csvsimple| is the |datatool| package \cite{talbot:datatool}
+which provides considerably more functions and allows sorting of data by \LaTeX.
+|csvsimple| has a different approach for the user interface and
+is deliberately restricted to some basic functions with fast
+processing speed.
+
+Mind the following restrictions:
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Sorting is not supported directly but can be done
+ with external tools, see \Fullref{sec:Sorting}.
+\item Values are expected to be comma separated, but the package
+ provides support for other separators, see \Fullref{sec:separators}.
+\item Values are expected to be not quoted or quoted with
+ curly braces |{}| of \TeX\ groups. Other quotes like doublequotes
+ are not supported directly, but can be achieved
+ with external tools, see \Fullref{sec:importeddata}.
+\item Every data line is expected to contain the same amount of values.
+ Unfeasible data lines are silently ignored by default, but this can
+ be configured, see \Fullref{sec:consistency}.
+\end{itemize}
+
+
+\subsection{Loading the Package}
+The package |csvsimple| loads the packages
+|pgfkeys| \cite{tantau:tikz},
+|etoolbox| \cite{lehmannwright:etoolbox},
+and |ifthen| \cite{carlisle:2014c}.
+|csvsimple| itself is loaded in the usual manner in the preamble:
+\begin{dispListing}
+\usepackage{csvsimple}
+\end{dispListing}
+
+Not automatically loaded, but used for many examples are the packages
+|longtable| \cite{carlisle:2014d}
+and
+|booktabs| \cite{fear:2016a}.
+
+
+\clearpage
+\subsection{First Steps}
+Every line of a processable CSV file has to contain an identical amount of
+comma\footnote{See \refKey{/csv/separator} for other separators than comma.} separated values. The curly braces |{}| of \TeX\ groups can be used
+to mask a block which may contain commas not to be processed as separators.
+
+The first line of such a CSV file is usually but not necessarily a header line
+which contains the identifiers for each column.
+
+%-- file embedded for simplicity --
+\begin{tcbverbatimwrite}{grade.csv}
+name,givenname,matriculation,gender,grade
+Maier,Hans,12345,m,1.0
+Huber,Anna,23456,f,2.3
+Weißbäck,Werner,34567,m,5.0
+Bauer,Maria,19202,f,3.3
+\end{tcbverbatimwrite}
+%-- end embedded file --
+
+\csvlisting{grade}
+
+\smallskip
+The most simple way to display a CSV file in tabular form is the processing
+with the \refCom{csvautotabular} command.
+
+\begin{dispExample}
+\csvautotabular{grade.csv}
+\end{dispExample}
+
+
+Typically, one would use \refCom{csvreader} instead of |\csvautotabular| to
+gain full control over the interpretation of the included data.
+
+In the following example, the entries of the header line are automatically
+assigned to \TeX\ macros which may be used deliberately.
+
+
+\begin{dispExample}
+\begin{tabular}{|l|c|}\hline%
+\bfseries Person & \bfseries Matr.~No.
+\csvreader[head to column names]{grade.csv}{}%
+{\\\givenname\ \name & \matriculation}%
+ \\\hline
+\end{tabular}
+\end{dispExample}
+
+
+\clearpage
+|\csvreader| is controlled by a plenty of options. For example, for table
+applications line breaks are easily inserted by
+\refKey{/csv/late after line}. This defines a macro execution just before
+the following line.
+Additionally, the assignment of columns to \TeX\ macros is shown in a non automated
+way.
+
+\begin{dispExample}
+\begin{tabular}{|r|l|c|}\hline%
+& Person & Matr.~No.\\\hline\hline
+\csvreader[late after line=\\\hline]%
+ {grade.csv}{name=\name,givenname=\firstname,matriculation=\matnumber}%
+ {\thecsvrow & \firstname~\name & \matnumber}%
+\end{tabular}
+\end{dispExample}
+
+\smallskip
+An even more comfortable and preferrable way to create a table is setting
+appropriate option keys. Note, that this gives you the possibility to create a
+|pgfkeys| style which contains the whole table creation.
+
+\begin{dispExample}
+\csvreader[tabular=|r|l|c|,
+ table head=\hline & Person & Matr.~No.\\\hline\hline,
+ late after line=\\\hline]%
+ {grade.csv}{name=\name,givenname=\firstname,matriculation=\matnumber}%
+ {\thecsvrow & \firstname~\name & \matnumber}%
+\end{dispExample}
+
+\smallskip
+The next example shows such a style definition with the convenience macro
+\refCom{csvstyle}. Here, we see again the automated assignment of header
+entries to column names by \refKey{/csv/head to column names}.
+For this, the header entries have to be without spaces and special characters.
+But you can always assign entries to canonical macro names by hand like in the examples
+above.
+
+\begin{dispExample}
+\csvstyle{myTableStyle}{tabular=|r|l|c|,
+ table head=\hline & Person & Matr.~No.\\\hline\hline,
+ late after line=\\\hline,
+ head to column names}
+
+\csvreader[myTableStyle]{grade.csv}{}%
+ {\thecsvrow & \givenname~\name & \matriculation}%
+\end{dispExample}
+
+
+\clearpage
+Another way to address columns is to use their roman numbers.
+The direct addressing is done by |\csvcoli|, |\csvcolii|, |\csvcoliii|, \ldots:
+
+\begin{dispExample}
+\csvreader[tabular=|r|l|c|,
+ table head=\hline & Person & Matr.~No.\\\hline\hline,
+ late after line=\\\hline]%
+ {grade.csv}{}%
+ {\thecsvrow & \csvcolii~\csvcoli & \csvcoliii}%
+\end{dispExample}
+
+\smallskip
+And yet another method to assign macros to columns is to use arabic numbers
+for the assignment:
+
+\begin{dispExample}
+\csvreader[tabular=|r|l|c|,
+ table head=\hline & Person & Matr.~No.\\\hline\hline,
+ late after line=\\\hline]%
+ {grade.csv}{1=\name,2=\firstname,3=\matnumber}%
+ {\thecsvrow & \firstname~\name & \matnumber}%
+\end{dispExample}
+
+\smallskip
+For recurring applications, the |pgfkeys| syntax allows to create own styles
+for a consistent and centralized design. The following example is easily
+modified to obtain more or less option settings.
+
+\begin{dispExample}
+\csvset{myStudentList/.style={%
+ tabular=|r|l|c|,
+ table head=\hline & Person & #1\\\hline\hline,
+ late after line=\\\hline,
+ column names={name=\name,givenname=\firstname}
+ }}
+
+\csvreader[myStudentList={Matr.~No.}]{grade.csv}{matriculation=\matnumber}%
+{\thecsvrow & \firstname~\name & \matnumber}%
+\hfill%
+\csvreader[myStudentList={Grade}]{grade.csv}{grade=\grade}%
+{\thecsvrow & \firstname~\name & \grade}%
+\end{dispExample}
+
+
+\clearpage
+Alternatively, column names can be set by \refCom{csvnames}
+and style definitions by \refCom{csvstyle}.
+With this, the last example is rewritten as follows:
+
+\begin{dispExample}
+\csvnames{myNames}{1=\name,2=\firstname,3=\matnumber,5=\grade}
+\csvstyle{myStudentList}{tabular=|r|l|c|,
+ table head=\hline & Person & #1\\\hline\hline,
+ late after line=\\\hline, myNames}
+
+\csvreader[myStudentList={Matr.~No.}]{grade.csv}{}%
+{\thecsvrow & \firstname~\name & \matnumber}%
+\hfill%
+\csvreader[myStudentList={Grade}]{grade.csv}{}%
+{\thecsvrow & \firstname~\name & \grade}%
+\end{dispExample}
+
+\smallskip
+The data lines of a CSV file can also be filtered. In the following example,
+a certificate is printed only for students with grade unequal to 5.0.
+
+\begin{dispExample}
+\csvreader[filter not strcmp={\grade}{5.0}]%
+ {grade.csv}{1=\name,2=\firstname,3=\matnumber,4=\gender,5=\grade}%
+ {\begin{center}\Large\bfseries Certificate in Mathematics\end{center}
+ \large\ifcsvstrcmp{\gender}{f}{Ms.}{Mr.}
+ \firstname~\name, matriculation number \matnumber, has passed the test
+ in mathematics with grade \grade.\par\ldots\par
+ }%
+\end{dispExample}
+
+
+\clearpage
+\section{Macros for the Processing of CSV Files}\label{sec:makros}%
+
+\begin{docCommand}{csvreader}{\oarg{options}\marg{file name}\marg{assignments}\marg{command list}}
+ |\csvreader| reads the file denoted by \meta{file name} line by line.
+ Every line of the file has to contain an identical amount of
+ comma separated values. The curly braces |{}| of \TeX\ groups can be used
+ to mask a block which may contain commas not to be processed as separators.\smallskip
+
+ The first line of such a CSV file is by default but not necessarily
+ processed as a header line which contains the identifiers for each column.
+ The entries of this line can be used to give \meta{assignments} to \TeX\ macros
+ to address the columns. The number of entries of this first line
+ determines the accepted number of entries for all following lines.
+ Every line which contains a higher or lower number of entries is ignored
+ during standard processing.\smallskip
+
+ The \meta{assignments} are given by key value pairs
+ \mbox{\meta{name}|=|\meta{macro}}. Here, \meta{name} is an entry from the
+ header line \emph{or} the arabic number of the addressed column.
+ \meta{macro} is some \TeX\ macro which gets the content of the addressed column.\smallskip
+
+ The \meta{command list} is executed for every accepted data line. Inside the
+ \meta{command list} is applicable:
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item \docAuxCommand{thecsvrow} or the counter |csvrow| which contains the number of the
+ current data line (starting with 1).
+ \item \docAuxCommand{csvcoli}, \docAuxCommand{csvcolii}, \docAuxCommand{csvcoliii}, \ldots,
+ which contain the contents of the column entries of the current data line.
+ Alternatively can be used:
+ \item \meta{macro} from the \meta{assignments} to have a logical
+ addressing of a column entry.
+ \end{itemize}
+ Note, that the \meta{command list} is allowed to contain |\par| and
+ that all macro definitions are made global to be used for table applications.\smallskip
+
+ The processing of the given CSV file can be controlled by various
+ \meta{options} given as key value list. The feasible option keys
+ are described in section \ref{sec:schluessel} from page \pageref{sec:schluessel}.
+
+\begin{dispExample}
+\csvreader[tabular=|r|l|l|, table head=\hline, table foot=\hline]{grade.csv}%
+ {name=\name,givenname=\firstname,grade=\grade}%
+ {\grade & \firstname~\name & \csvcoliii}
+\end{dispExample}
+
+Mainly, the |\csvreader| command consists of a \refCom{csvloop} macro with
+following parameters:\par
+|\csvloop{|\meta{options}|, file=|\meta{file name}|, column names=|\meta{assignments}|,|\\
+ \hspace*{2cm} |command=|\meta{command list}|}|\par
+ Therefore, the application of the keys \refKey{/csv/file} and \refKey{/csv/command}
+is useless for |\csvreader|.
+\end{docCommand}
+
+\begin{docCommand}{csvloop}{\marg{options}}
+ Usually, \refCom{csvreader} may be preferred instead of |\csvloop|.
+ \refCom{csvreader} is based on |\csvloop| which takes a mandatory list of
+ \meta{options} in key value syntax.
+ This list of \meta{options} controls the total processing. Especially,
+ it has to contain the CSV file name.
+\begin{dispExample}
+\csvloop{file={grade.csv}, head to column names, command=\name,
+ before reading={List of students:\ },
+ late after line={{,}\ }, late after last line=.}
+\end{dispExample}
+\end{docCommand}
+
+\clearpage
+The following |\csvauto...| commands are intended for quick data overview
+with limited formatting potential.
+See Subsection~\ref{subsec:tabsupport} on page \pageref{subsec:tabsupport}
+for the general table options in combination with \refCom{csvreader} and
+\refCom{csvloop}.
+
+\begin{docCommand}{csvautotabular}{\oarg{options}\marg{file name}}
+ |\csvautotabular| is an abbreviation for the application of the option key
+ \refKey{/csv/autotabular} together with other \meta{options} to \refCom{csvloop}.

+\subsection{Sorting}\label{sec:Sorting}%
+\TeX/\LaTeX\ was not born under a sorting planet. |csvsimple| provides no
+sorting of data lines by \LaTeX-methods since sorting can be done much faster
+and much better by external tools.
+
+First, one should consider the appropriate \emph{place} for sorting:
+\begin{itemize}
+\item CSV files may be sorted by a tool \emph{before} the \LaTeX\ document is processed
+ at all. If the CSV data is not likely to change, this is the most efficient method.
+\item CSV files may be sorted by a tool every time before the \LaTeX\ document is compiled.
+ This could be automated by a shell script or some processing tool like |arara|.
+\item CSV files may be sorted on-the-fly by a tool during compilation of
+ a \LaTeX\ document. This is the most elegant but not the most efficient way.
+\end{itemize}
+
+The first two methods are decoupled from anything concerning |csvsimple|.
+For the third method, the \refKey{/csv/preprocessor} option is made for.
+This allows to access an external tool for sorting.
+\emph{Which tool} is your choice.
+
+\csvsorter\ \cite{sturm:csvsorter}
+was written as a companion tool for |csvsimple|.
+It is an open source Java command-line tool for sorting CSV files, available at\\
+\url{http://T-F-S.github.io/csvsorter/}\quad or\quad
+\url{https://github.com/T-F-S/csvsorter}
+
+It can be
+used for all three sorting approaches described above.
+There is special support for on-the-fly sorting with \csvsorter\ using the
+following options.
+
+\begin{enumerate}\bfseries
+\item To use the sorting options, you have to install \csvsorter\ \cite{sturm:csvsorter} before!\\
+ |csvsimple| v1.12 or newer needs \csvsorter\ v0.94 of newer!
+\item You have to give permission to call external tools during
+ compilation, i.\,e.\ the command-line options for |latex| have to include
+ |-shell-escape|.
+\end{enumerate}
+
+\bigskip
+
+\begin{docCsvKey}{csvsorter command}{=\meta{system command}}{no default, initially |csvsorter|}
+ The \meta{system command} specifies the system call for \csvsorter\ (without the options).
+ If \csvsorter\ was completely installed following its documentation, there is
+ nothing to change here. If the |csvsorter.jar| file is inside the same
+ directory as the \LaTeX\ source file, you may configure:% preferrably inside the preamble:
+\begin{dispListing}
+\csvset{csvsorter command=java -jar csvsorter.jar}
+\end{dispListing}
+\end{docCsvKey}
+
+\begin{docCsvKey}{csvsorter configpath}{=\meta{path}}{no default, initially |.|}
+ Sorting with \csvsorter\ is done using XML configuration files. If these files
+ are not stored inside the same directory as the \LaTeX\ source file, a
+ \meta{path} to access them can be configured:
+\begin{dispListing}
+\csvset{csvsorter configpath=xmlfiles}
+\end{dispListing}
+ Here, the configuration files would be stored in a subdirectory named |xmlfiles|.
+\end{docCsvKey}
+
+\begin{docCsvKey}{csvsorter log}{=\meta{file name}}{no default, initially |csvsorter.log|}
+ Sets the log file of \csvsorter\ to the given \meta{file name}.
+\begin{dispListing}
+\csvset{csvsorter log=outdir/csvsorter.log}
+\end{dispListing}
+ Here, the log file is written to a subdirectory named |outdir|.
+\end{docCsvKey}
+
+\clearpage
+\begin{docCsvKey}{csvsorter token}{=\meta{file name}}{no default, initially |\textbackslash jobname.csvtoken|}
+ Sets \meta{file name} as token file. This is an auxiliary file which
+ communicates the success of \csvsorter\ to |csvsimple|.
+\begin{dispListing}
+\csvset{csvsorter log=outdir/\jobname.csvtoken}
+\end{dispListing}
+ Here, the token file is written to a subdirectory named |outdir|.
+\end{docCsvKey}
+
+
+\begin{docCsvKey}{sort by}{=\meta{file name}}{style, initially unset}
+ The \meta{file name} denotes an XML configuration file for \csvsorter.
+ Setting this option inside \refCom{csvreader} or
+ \refCom{csvloop} will issue a system call to \csvsorter.
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item \csvsorter\ uses the given CSV file as input file.
+ \item \csvsorter\ uses \meta{file name} as configuration file.
+ \item The output CSV file is denoted by \refKey{/csv/preprocessed file}
+ which is by default \texttt{\textbackslash\detokenize{jobname_sorted.csv}}.
+ This output file is this actual file processed by \refCom{csvreader} or \refCom{csvloop}.
+ \item \csvsorter\ also generates a log file denoted by \refKey{/csv/csvsorter log} which is by default |csvsorter.log|.
+ \end{itemize}
+
+\par\medskip\textbf{First example:}
+ To sort our example |grade.csv| file according to |name| and |givenname|, we
+ use the following XML configuration file. Since \csvsorter\ uses double quotes
+ as default brackets for column values, we remove bracket recognition to avoid
+ a clash with the escaped umlauts of the example CSV file.\par\smallskip
+
+\xmllisting{namesort}
+\begin{dispExample}
+% \usepackage{booktabs}
+\csvreader[sort by=namesort.xml,
+ head to column names,
+ tabular=>{\color{red}}lllll,
+ table head=\toprule Name & Given Name & Matriculation & Gender & Grade\\\midrule,
+ table foot=\bottomrule]
+ {grade.csv}{}{\csvlinetotablerow}
+\end{dispExample}
+
+\clearpage\textbf{Second example:}
+ To sort our example |grade.csv| file according to |grade|, we
+ use the following XML configuration file. Further, persons with the same |grade|
+ are sorted by |name| and |givenname|. Since \csvsorter\ uses double quotes
+ as default brackets for column values, we remove bracket recognition to avoid
+ a clash with the escaped umlauts of the example CSV file.\par\smallskip
+
+\xmllisting{gradesort}
+\begin{dispExample}
+% \usepackage{booktabs}
+\csvreader[sort by=gradesort.xml,
+ head to column names,
+ tabular=llll>{\color{red}}l,
+ table head=\toprule Name & Given Name & Matriculation & Gender & Grade\\\midrule,
+ table foot=\bottomrule]
+ {grade.csv}{}{\csvlinetotablerow}
+\end{dispExample}
+
+\clearpage\textbf{Third example:}
+ To generate a matriculation/grade list, we sort our example |grade.csv| file
+ using the following XML configuration file.
+ Again, since \csvsorter\ uses double quotes
+ as default brackets for column values, we remove bracket recognition to avoid
+ a clash with the escaped umlauts of the example CSV file.\par\smallskip
+
+\xmllisting{matriculationsort}
+\begin{dispExample}
+% \usepackage{booktabs}
+\csvreader[sort by=matriculationsort.xml,
+ head to column names,
+ tabular=>{\color{red}}ll,
+ table head=\toprule Matriculation & Grade\\\midrule,
+ table foot=\bottomrule]
+ {grade.csv}{}{\matriculation & \grade}
+\end{dispExample}
+\end{docCsvKey}
+
+
+\clearpage
+\begin{docCsvKey}{new sorting rule}{=\marg{name}\marg{file name}}{style, initially unset}
+This is a convenience option to generate a new shortcut for often used
+\refKey{/csv/sort by} applications. It also adds a more semantic touch.
+The new shortcut option is
+\tcbox[on line,size=small,colback=white,colframe=red]{|sort by| \meta{name}} which expands to
+\tcbox[on line,size=small,colback=white,colframe=red]{|sort by=|\marg{file name}}.\par\medskip
+
+Consider the following example:
+\begin{dispExample}
+\csvautotabular[sort by=namesort.xml]{grade.csv}
+\end{dispExample}
+A good place for setting up a new sorting rule would be inside the preamble:
+
+\csvset{new sorting rule={name}{namesort.xml}}
+\begin{dispListing}
+\csvset{new sorting rule={name}{namesort.xml}}
+\end{dispListing}
+
+Now, we can use the new rule:
+\begin{dispExample}
+\csvautotabular[sort by name]{grade.csv}
+\end{dispExample}
+
+\end{docCsvKey}
+
+
+\clearpage
+\section{String Tests}\label{sec:stringtests}%
+
+The following string tests are complementing the string tests
+from the |etoolbox| \cite{lehmannwright:etoolbox} package. They all do the same, i.e.,
+comparing expanded strings for equality.
+\begin{itemize}
+\item\refCom{ifcsvstrcmp} is the most efficient method, because it uses
+ native compiler string comparison (if available).
+\item\refCom{ifcsvstrequal} does not rely on a compiler. It also is the
+ fallback implementation for \refCom{ifcsvstrcmp}, if there is no
+ native comparison method.
+\item\refCom{ifcsvprostrequal} is possibly more failsafe than the other two
+ string tests. It may be used, if strings contain dirty things like |\textbf{A}|.
+\end{itemize}
+\medskip
+
+\begin{docCommand}[doc new=2016-07-01]{ifcsvstrcmp}{\marg{stringA}\marg{stringB}\marg{true}\marg{false}}
+ Compares two strings and executes \meta{true} if they are equal, and \meta{false} otherwise.
+ The comparison is done using |\pdfstrcmp|, if compilation is done with pdf\LaTeX.
+ The comparison is done using |\pdf@strcmp|, if the package |pdftexcmds| is
+ loaded and compilation is done with lua\LaTeX\ or Xe\LaTeX.
+ Otherwise, \refCom{ifcsvstrcmp} is identical to \refCom{ifcsvstrequal}.
+ This command cannot be used inside the preamble.
+\end{docCommand}
+
+
+\begin{docCommand}[doc new=2016-07-01]{ifcsvnotstrcmp}{\marg{stringA}\marg{stringB}\marg{true}\marg{false}}
+ Compares two strings and executes \meta{true} if they are \emph{not} equal, and \meta{false} otherwise.
+ The implementation uses \refCom{ifcsvstrcmp}.
+\end{docCommand}
+
+
+\begin{docCommand}[doc new=2016-07-01]{ifcsvstrequal}{\marg{stringA}\marg{stringB}\marg{true}\marg{false}}
+ Compares two strings and executes \meta{true} if they are equal, and \meta{false} otherwise.
+ The strings are expanded with |\edef| in the test.
+\end{docCommand}
+
+\begin{docCommand}[doc new=2016-07-01]{ifcsvprostrequal}{\marg{stringA}\marg{stringB}\marg{true}\marg{false}}
+ Compares two strings and executes \meta{true} if they are equal, and \meta{false} otherwise.
+ The strings are expanded with |\protected@edef| in the test, i.e. parts of the
+ strings which are protected stay unexpanded.
+\end{docCommand}

+\subsection{A Serial Letter}%
+In this example, a serial letter is to be written to all persons with
+addresses from the following CSV file. Deliberately, the file content is
+not given in very pretty format.
+

+\end{tcbverbatimwrite}
+%-- end embedded file --

+\csvlisting{address}
+
+Firstly, we survey the file content quickly using
+|\csvautotabular|.
+As can be seen, unfeasible lines are ignored automatically.
+
+\begin{dispExample}
+\tiny\csvautotabular{address.csv}
+\end{dispExample}
+
+Now, we create the serial letter where every feasible data line produces
+an own page. Here, we simulate the page by a |tcolorbox| (from the package
+|tcolorbox|).
+For the gender specific salutations, an auxiliary macro |\ifmale| is
+introduced.
+
+\begin{dispExample}

+|\csvautobooktabular|.
+
+\begin{dispExample}
+% needs the booktabs package
+\csvautobooktabular{data.csv}
+\end{dispExample}
+
+The amount values are presented in the following diagram by bars where
+the group classification is given using different colors.
+
+\begin{dispExample}
+% This example requires the package tikz

+ \node[left] at (0,0) {\land};
+ \end{scope} }
+\end{tikzpicture}
+\end{dispExample}
+
+
+\clearpage
+It would be nice to sort the bars by length, i.\,e.\ to sort the CSV file
+by the |amount| column. If the \csvsorter\ program is properly installed,
+see Subsection~\ref{sec:Sorting} on page~\pageref{sec:Sorting},
+this can be done with the following configuration file for \csvsorter:
+
+\xmllisting{amountsort}
+
+Now, we just have to add an option |sort by=amountsort.xml|:
+\begin{dispExample}
+% This example requires the package tikz
+% Also, the CSV-Sorter tool has to be installed
+\begin{tikzpicture}[Group/A/.style={left color=red!10,right color=red!20},

+Next, we create a pie chart by calling |\csvreader| twice.
+In the first step, the total sum of amounts is computed, and in the second
+step the slices are drawn.

+\end{tcbverbatimwrite}
+
+\csvlisting{data_numbers}
+
+The |siunitx| \cite{wright:siuntix} package provides a new column type |S|
+which can align material using a number of different strategies.
+The following example demonstrates the application with CSV reading.
+The package documentation \cite{wright:siuntix} contains a huge amount
+of formatting options.
+
+\begin{dispExample}
+% \usepackage{siunitx,array,booktabs}
+\csvloop{
+ file=data_numbers.csv,
+ head to column names,
+ before reading=\centering\sisetup{table-number-alignment=center},
+ tabular={lSS[table-format=2.2e1]},
+ table head=\toprule\textbf{Month} & \textbf{Dogs} & \textbf{Cats}\\\midrule,
+ command=\month & \dogs & \cats,
+ table foot=\bottomrule}
+\end{dispExample}
+
+\clearpage
+Special care is needed, if the \emph{first} column is to be formatted with
+the column type |S|. The number detection of |siunitx| is disturbed by
+the line reading code of |csvsimple| which actually is present at the
+first column. To avoid this problem, the content of the first column
+could be formatted not by the table format definition, but by using a
+suitable |\tablenum| formatting directly, see |siunitx| \cite{wright:siuntix}.
+
+Another and very nifty workaround suggested by Enrico Gregorio is to
+add an invisible dummy column with |c@{}| as first column:
+
+
+\begin{dispExample}
+% \usepackage{siunitx,array,booktabs}
+\csvloop{
+ file=data_numbers.csv,
+ head to column names,
+ before reading=\centering\sisetup{table-number-alignment=center},
+ tabular={c@{}S[table-format=2.2e1]S},
+ table head= & \textbf{Cats} & \textbf{Dogs}\\\midrule,
+ command= & \cats & \dogs,
+ table foot=\bottomrule}
+\end{dispExample}
+
+
+
+\clearpage
+Now, the preceding table shall be sorted by the \emph{cats} values.
+If the \csvsorter\ program is properly installed,
+see Subsection~\ref{sec:Sorting} on page~\pageref{sec:Sorting},
+this can be done with the following configuration file for \csvsorter:
+
+\xmllisting{catsort}
+
+Now, we just have to add an option |sort by=catsort.xml|:
+\begin{dispExample}
+% \usepackage{siunitx,array,booktabs}
+% Also, the CSV-Sorter tool has to be installed
+\csvloop{
+ file=data_numbers.csv,
+ sort by=catsort.xml,
+ head to column names,
+ before reading=\centering\sisetup{table-number-alignment=center},
+ tabular={lSS[table-format=2.2e1]},
+ table head=\toprule\textbf{Month} & \textbf{Dogs} & \textbf{Cats}\\\midrule,
+ command=\month & \dogs & \cats,
+ table foot=\bottomrule}
+\end{dispExample}
+
+
+\clearpage
+\subsection{CSV data without header line}\label{noheader}%
+CSV files with a header line are more semantic than files without header,
+but it's no problem to work with headless files.
+
+For this example, we use again some artificial statistical data given by a CSV file
+but this time without header.
+
+%-- file embedded for simplicity --
+\begin{tcbverbatimwrite}{data_headless.csv}
+Bayern,A,1700
+Baden-Württemberg,A,2300
+Sachsen,B,1520
+Thüringen,A,1900
+Hessen,B,2100
+\end{tcbverbatimwrite}
+%-- end embedded file --
+
+\csvlisting{data_headless}
+
+Note that you cannot use the \refKey{/csv/no head} option for the auto tabular
+commands. If no options are given, the first line is interpreted as header line
+which gives an unpleasant result:
+
+\begin{dispExample}
+\csvautobooktabular{data_headless.csv}
+\end{dispExample}
+
+To get the expected result, one can redefine \refKey{/csv/table head}
+using \refCom{csvlinetotablerow} which holds the first line data for the
+|\csvauto...| commands:
+
+\begin{dispExample}
+\csvautobooktabular[table head=\toprule\csvlinetotablerow\\]{data_headless.csv}
+\end{dispExample}
+
+This example can be extended to insert a table head for this headless data:
+
+\begin{dispExample}
+\csvautobooktabular[table head=\toprule\bfseries Land & \bfseries Group
+ & \bfseries Amount\\\midrule\csvlinetotablerow\\]{data_headless.csv}
+\end{dispExample}
+
+\clearpage
+
+For the normal \refCom{csvreader} command, the \refKey{/csv/no head} option
+should be applied. Of course, we cannot use \refKey{/csv/head to column names}
+because there is no head, but the columns can be addressed by their numbers:
+
+\begin{dispExample}
+\csvreader[no head,
+ tabular=lr,
+ table head=\toprule\bfseries Land & \bfseries Amount\\\midrule,
+ table foot=\bottomrule]
+ {data_headless.csv}
+ {1=\land,3=\amount}
+ {\land & \amount}
+\end{dispExample}
+
+
+\clearpage
+\subsection{Imported CSV data}\label{sec:importeddata}%
+If data is imported from other applications, there is not always a choice
+to format in comma separated values with curly brackets.
+
+Consider the following example data file:
+
+%-- file embedded for simplicity --

+If the \csvsorter\ program is properly installed,

+
+\xmllisting{transform}
+
+Now, we just have to add an option |sort by=transform.xml| to transform
+the input data. Here, we actually do not sort.
+
+\begin{dispExample}
+% \usepackage{booktabs,array}
+% Also, the CSV-Sorter tool has to be installed
+\newcommand{\Header}[1]{\normalfont\bfseries #1}
+
+\csvreader[
+ sort by=transform.xml,

+ table head=\toprule\Header{Name} & \Header{Address} & \Header{email}\\\midrule,
+ table foot=\bottomrule]
+ {imported.csv}{}{\csvlinetotablerow}
+\end{dispExample}
+
+The file which is generated on-the-fly and which is actually read by
+|csvsimple| is the following:
+
+\tcbinputlisting{docexample,listing style=tcbdocumentation,fonttitle=\bfseries,
+ listing only,listing file=\jobname_sorted._csv}
+
+
+\clearpage
+\subsection{Encoding}\label{encoding}%
+If the CSV file has a different encoding than the \LaTeX\ source file,
+then special care is needed.
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item The most obvious treatment is to change the encoding of the CSV file
+ or the \LaTeX\ source file to match the other one (every good editor
+ supports such a conversion). This is the easiest choice, if there a no
+ good reasons against such a step. E.g., unfortunately, several tools
+ under Windows need the CSV file to be |cp1252| encoded while
+ the \LaTeX\ source file may need to be |utf8| encoded.
+
+\item The |inputenc| package allows to switch the encoding inside the
+ document, say from |utf8| to |cp1252|. Just be aware that you should only
+ use pure ASCII for additional texts inside the switched region.
+\begin{dispListing}
+% !TeX encoding=UTF-8
+% ....
+\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
+% ....
+\begin{document}
+% ....
+\inputencoding{latin1}% only use ASCII from here, e.g. "Uberschrift
+\csvreader[%...
+ ]{data_cp1252.csv}{%...
+ }{% ....
+ }
+\inputencoding{utf8}
+% ....
+\end{document}
+\end{dispListing}
+
+\item As a variant to the last method, the encoding switch can be done
+ using options from |csvsimple|:
+\begin{dispListing}
+% !TeX encoding=UTF-8
+% ....
+\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
+% ....
+\begin{document}
+% ....
+% only use ASCII from here, e.g. "Uberschrift
+\csvreader[%...
+ before reading=\inputencoding{latin1},
+ after reading=\inputencoding{utf8},
+ ]{data_cp1252.csv}{%...
+ }{% ....
+ }
+% ....
+\end{document}
+\end{dispListing}
+
+\pagebreak\item
+If the \csvsorter\ program is properly installed,
+see Subsection~\ref{sec:Sorting} on page~\pageref{sec:Sorting},
+the CSV file can be re-encoded on-the-fly
+with the following configuration file for \csvsorter:
+
+\xmllisting{encoding}
+
+\begin{dispListing}
+% !TeX encoding=UTF-8
+% ....
+\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
+% ....
+\begin{document}
+% ....
+\csvreader[%...
+ sort by=encoding.xml,
+ ]{data_cp1252.csv}{%...
+ }{% ....
+ }
+% ....
