Addon question: base library csv script or tables/csv addon ?

[Yuvaraj Athur Raghuvir]

Hello,

I am trying to understand this instruction from https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Addons/tables/csv 

If you wish to replace the use of the base library csv script with the tables/csv addon, add the following lines to your ~config/startup.ijs script: 

<code>

If you do this, then require 'csv' and load 'csv' will target the csv addon rather than the base library csv script.

Where can I find the details of the base library csv script?

Thanks,

Yuva

I think this info is quite old and I guess the base library csv script dated from J6 or similar.

So I can safely assume that we only have tables/csv addon - right?

Yes, I think that's a fair summary.

The J Wiki has just been updated, so that outdated information is no longer there.

Most addons including tables/csv addon can be used without any extra setup. The exceptions are addons that need some external software. For example the graphics/graphviz addon for Jqt needs Graphviz. But on Windows, the first time the addon is used, Jqt will ask whether Graphviz should be installed automatically.

In Jqt, you can install/update new addons from the menu: Tools|Package Manager or without GUI using jpkg verb.

Cheers,
