In lack of better solution, you could remove all spaces while reading the csv file using [this trick](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/reading-data-text-files-delimited-with-both-spaces-tabs/64851/4) from @GunnarFarneback:

```julia
CSV.File(IOBuffer(replace(read(csvfile, String), " " => "")), missingstring = "", types = [Int, Int, Int])

```
