Greg Haber commented on DNA-105:
--------------------------------

Good point - yes, it would be better to sequence all the data.  This would also make this sequencer (either directly, or by extending it to a more specific sequencer) useful for files that use a delimited format such as tab delimited or CSV, but have further structure defined out of band.

> It is a somewhat common practice for delimited text files such as comma-separated (CSV) or tab delimited files to contain a list of column names in the first line of the file.  A sequencer to capture this metadata could be useful,and should be straightforward to implement.
