Description

Hi,

I gave a try to SandDance today but I noticed it doesn't support .csv with comments. It could be great to have it work seamlessly ! :)

Here is the error message that is displayed when opening such a .csv file (first 3 lines begin with a comment line)

Research direction

Start by locating the CSV opening and parsing entry point, then reproduce the issue with a CSV whose first three lines are comments. The work is done when SandDance opens commented CSV files successfully without displaying the reported error.
