DRGFilt10 New Control File Format, part 2

We have completed and validated CSV support for both input and output for DRGFilt10, the ICD10-based version of DRGFilt. The CSV version of the control file looks like this:

; control file for new DRG filt -- CSV version
[drgfilt]
format = csv (,) ; separator character is in parens
base = 0 ; indices are zero-based
;base = 1 ; indices are one-based
headers = 1 ; 1=want column headers, 0=no headers
crlf = 0 ; type of end-of-line: either crlf or lf
blip = 1000

; input variables: name = index
inid = 0
age =  1
sex = 2
exmp = 3
ds =  4
dx = 5-29
poa = 30-54
surg= 55-79

; these are written out by DRGFilt
outid = 0 ; patient ID from input
rc  = 1
mdc = 2
drg = 3
desc = 4
weight = 5
morp = 6

We hope that this upgrade fills many of the requests we have gotten over the years for extensions to the control file format.
