Please provide the first few lines of a file that you believe isn't being handled as described in the documentation.

Hello again,


The documentation for readers.text says "Any single non-alphanumeric character can be used as a separator." - does this include space? [which is an non-alphanumeric character]


Ran PDAL 1.5 with pipeline using readers.text;

- using semi-colan as separator in header and data and it works.

- using space as separator in header and data and it does not works.


Viewing the PDAL source code, specifically TextReader::initalize, I see the comment "Scan string for some character not a number, space or letter.".


If space is not supported as separator, please consider updating documentation.


kind regards, Lars
