$ npm install --save xy-parser
import { parseXY } from 'xy-parser';
const data = `My file
1 2
3 4
5 6
7 8`;
const result = parseXY(data);
/* result ->
{
x: [1, 3, 5, 7],
y: [2, 4, 6, 8]
}
}

const result2 = parseXYAndKeppInfo(data);
/* result2 ->
data: {
x: [1, 3, 5, 7],
y: [2, 4, 6, 8]
},
info: [

*/The bestGuess option will try to determine which columns should be used.
If there are 3 columns and the first column is a sequential number starting at '1' it looks like this is a line number, we will ignore it.
If there are many columns maybe we have a format like X1, Y1, X2, Y2, ... in this cases if one column on two is a monotone series we will parse it correctly.
