Description

TCSVHandler is the base class for class TCSVParser which allows you to read a CSV file, and class TCSVBuilder which allows you to write a CSV file. It defines some common properties for these classes, mainly to describe the formatting of the CSV file, such as the Delimiter or QuoteChar and LineEnding properties.

Normally you will not create an instance of TCSVHandler, instead you will create a TCSVParser or TCSVBuilder instance.
