Java OpenCSV - Ignoring Fields with a Certain Value

I'm parsing a dataset that uses N as an indicator of a null field.



Is there a native-OpenCSV way of handling this?



Currently I am replacing this indicator with empty String before I pass it into the CSVReader using a TranslatingReader.



I have migrated to OpenCSV 4.3.2 and am using CsvToBeanBuilder as per new best practice.



An excerpt of my code is below although it's not quite an MCVE as I'm sure the answer is as simple as a method I'm missing. But I make one if required.



try (Reader reader = new TranslatingReader(new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream(file))))
{
@Override
public String translate(final String line)
{
return line.replace("\N", "");
}
})
{
return new CsvToBeanBuilder<T>(reader).withType(clazz).build().parse();
}
