Usage

load module.

> require("lualtsv")

parsing LTSV

> t = ltsv.parse("name:zaneli\tvalue:v1:v2:v3")
> for k, v in pairs(t) do
>>   print(k .. " = " .. v)
>> end
name = zaneli
value = v1:v2:v3

loading LTSV file

> ts = ltsv.load("file_path.ltsv")
> for i, t in pairs(r) do
>>   for k, v in pairs(t) do
>>     print("[" .. i .. "]" .. k .. " = " .. v)
>>   end
>> end
[1]name = zaneli
[1]value = v1:v2:v3
[2]foo = bar

dumping into LTSV

> s = ltsv.dump({ name = "zaneli", value = "v1:v2:v3" })
> print(s)
name:zaneli<TAB>value:v1:v2:v3
