reading CSV files
May 28th, 2008, 4:10pm  
hello,

has anyone got any suggestions for a good CSV reading library?  i know that i could use the split function, but i'd really like something higher level that will try to handle all the little exceptions that occur in a CSV file (and read the header row for column names).

maybe there is something in java that i could import?

i guess i was looking more for a suggestion of one that someone has tested in Processing (the google search turned up many choices for me, too), but i guess i can start with that one and see how i like it.

i can highly recommend Ben Frys book on "Data visualisation" that helpt me a lot when it comes to reading data from CSV files.

He offers a great solution that makes it easy to get every information out of a CSV needed.He offers some examples you could download if you own the book. http://benfry.com/writing/archives/3

You should really consider buying it, its a great resource.
