#Error Handling Below you can find a more detailed explanation of some of the errors that can be encountered while using ftcsv. For parsing, examples of these files can be found in /spec/bad_csvs/

##Parsing Note: [row_number] indicates the row number of the parsed lua table. As such, it will be one off from the line number in the csv. However, for header-less files, the row returned will match the csv line number.

Error Message Detailed Explanation
ftcsv: Cannot parse an empty file The file passed in contains no information. It is an empty file.
ftcsv: Cannot parse a file which contains empty headers If a header field contains no information, then it can't be parsed
(ex: Name,City,,Zipcode)
ftcsv: too few columns in row [row_number] The number of columns is less than the amount in the header after transformations (renaming, keeping certain fields, etc)
ftcsv: too many columns in row [row_number] The number of columns is greater than the amount in the header after transformations. It can't map the field's count with an existing header.
ftcsv: File not found at [path] When loading, lua can't open the file at [path]
