helper class to write table data to a csv-file (comma separated values). the first line in file is a list of fieldnames, all following lines are data lines. a descptiontion of file format can be found on: http://www.wotsit.org/ usage: create a object using the constructor. call writeHeader for writing the filename header then add data with writeData. at the end close() closes the file.
