CSV file format, contents

[loldemort]

A few questions/points:

1) Are you going to put double-quotes around field contents? There's no real standard for this, but the nearest thing to a standard does seem to be to double-quote field contents, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma-separated_values for example. I know it's not strictly necessary, but I don't feel 100% certain that Blizzard won't one day create a server with a comma in its name

2) Are you going to prefix non-EU servers with their region? I presume all the non-EU ones in your list are US at the moment??? Does that mean that there are non-EU, non-US servers that aren't in your list at all, e.g. Asian ones?

3) The per-server files contain the server name as the first field. This is redundant, as it can be derived from the filename.


Cheers,

1 - The current format will probably remain until something forces a change. I would hate to change the format and cause everyone to have to update their code to process the data.

2 - Currently I only track data on US and EU servers. I want to add the other regions, but the language barrier is too much at this point.

3 - Noted =) But see #1 as to why it probably won't get updated.

Thanks for the comments!
