reading CSV

Question

Guys

I have a CSV file in my assets folder which contains data as follows

0001,Harris,A&H,C22
0002,Harris,A&H,C23
0003,Harris,A&H,C24
0004,Harris,A&H,C25 

etc....

I want to be able to search the data for the row that has "0004" in it and the copy that row into a string

Any ideas or know of any easy tutorials I can follow?

Hi Mark,

Checkout the sample from code center for helping read the CSV file to your app: http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsapps/CSV-Parser-for-WinRT-42e0f4d0

After that you could do a search for the result by Linq.

Answer 2

Thanks for your help

I found the example far too complicated for a newbie like me

I have managed to achieve it by using the file access sample and read from the csv file by using storagefile and readlinesasync
