Inspiration

The spectacuarly helpful Ruby libraries which support CSV parsing to hashes with headers as keys.

Code To Implement

file: src/main/sml/spreadsheet_to_dictionaries/spreadsheet_to_dictionaries.sml Smlnj-logo.png
functions: to_dictionaries_using_headers_as_keys
 fun to_dictionaries_using_headers_as_keys(s : sheet) : (cell,cell) SingleListDictionary.dictionary list =
        raise NotYetImplemented

Given this spreadsheet:

Name Uniform Number Birth Year Games Played Goals Assists
Bobby Orr 4 1948 657 270 645
Wayne Gretzky 99 1961 1487 894 1963
Mario Lemieux 66 1965 915 690 1033

to_dictionaries_using_headers_as_keys should return a list with 3 single list dictionaries, one for each non-header row. The dictionaries would be filled with entries for each column, using the cell in the header of the column as the key and the cell in the particular row of the column as the value.

[ { TEXT("Name") => TEXT("Bobby Orr"),     TEXT("Uniform Number") => INTEGER(4),  TEXT("Birth Year") => INTEGER(1948), TEXT("Games Played") => INTEGER(657),  TEXT("Goals") => INTEGER(270), TEXT("Assists") => INTEGER(645)  }, 
  { TEXT("Name") => TEXT("Wayne Gretzky"), TEXT("Uniform Number") => INTEGER(99), TEXT("Birth Year") => INTEGER(1961), INTEGER("Games Played") => INTEGER(1487), TEXT("Goals") => INTEGER(894), TEXT("Assists") => INTEGER(1963) }, 
  { TEXT("Name") => TEXT("Mario Lemieux"), TEXT("Uniform Number") => INTEGER(66), TEXT("Birth Year") => INTEGER(1965), INTEGER("Games Played") => INTEGER(915),  TEXT("Goals") => INTEGER(690), TEXT("Assists") => INTEGER(1033) } ]

NOTE: you can assume that you will not be passed the empty list. If you want to handle this case anyway, raising Empty seems like a reasonable thing to do.
