+# Reading: with whitespace
+
+This example shows how to read CSV data seperated by whitespace as well as a comma. 
+
+```no_run
+# //cookbook-read-whitespace.rs
+use std::error::Error;
+use std::io;
+use std::process;
+
+fn example() -> Result<(), Box<dyn Error>> {
+    // Build the CSV reader and iterate over each record.
