  2. Iterative Audit: Loops through the entire grid, comparing each row’s length to the baseline.
  3. Report Generation: Appends specific row indices and discrepancy details to the report string if a mismatch is found.

• Parameters:

  • report: An out string containing a detailed row-by-row error report.

• Returns: bool (True if the file is perfectly consistent).

• Example:

if (!csvManager.Reader.Validate(out string report))
{
    Debug.LogWarning("CSV Structure Error: " + report);
}
