.Net Library to read from fixed width or delimiter separated file using strongly typed objects.

Fixed Width or Delimiter Separated File

What is Fixed width or Delimiter separated text files?

Fixed width or Delimiter separeted text file is a file that has a specific format which allows for the manipulation of textual information in an organized fashion.
Each row contains one record of information; each record can contain multiple pieces of data fields or columns. The data columns are separated by any character you specify called the delimiter. All rows in the file follow a consistent format and should be with the same number of data columns. Data columns could be empty with no value.

**CASE 1 😗* Simple pipe '|' separated Delimeter File is shown below (this could even be comma ',' separated CSV)

|Mr|Jack Marias|Male|London|Active|||
|Dr|Bony Stringer|Male|New Jersey|Active||Paid|
|Mrs|Mary Ward|Female||Active|||
|Mr|Robert Webb|||Active|||

CASE 2: The above file could have a header and a footer. In which case, each row has an identifier called as Line head to determine the type of row in the file.

|H|Department|Jun 23 2016  7:01PM|
|D||Jack Marias|Male|London|Active|||
|D|Dr|Bony Stringer|Male|New Jersey|Active||Paid|
|D|Mrs|Mary Ward|Female||Active|||
|D|Mr|Robert Webb|||Active|||
|F|4 Records|

FileUtil can be used to parse both of the shown formats above. The line heads and data column delimiters (separators) are configurable as required per use case.
