Reading data from a CSV file in Python

Question

I am reading data from a CSV file (xyz.CSV) which contains below data:

col1,col2,col3,col4
name1,empId1,241682-27638-USD-CIGGNT ,1
name2,empId2,241682-27638-         


        

Answer 1

Hope it clears the issue

import csv
file=open( "xyz.CSV", "r")
reader = csv.reader(file)
for line in reader:
    t=line[0]+","+line[1]
    print (t)

Answer 2

import csv
csv_file=open("xyz.csv", "r")
reader = csv.reader(csv_file)

for row in reader:
    print(" ".join(row[:2]))

Output :- 
col1 col2
name1 empId1
name2 empId2
name3 empId3
name4 empId4
name5 empId5
name6 empId6
name7 empId7
name8 empId8
name9 empId9
name10 empId10

Just put value in row as slice. Below is code for printing 2nd and 3rd coloumn.

import csv
csv_file=open("xyz.csv", "r")
reader = csv.reader(csv_file)

for row in reader:
    print(" ".join(row[1:3]))

output:
col2 col3
empId1 241682-27638-USD-CIGGNT 
empId2 241682-27638-USD-OCGGINT 
empId3 241942-37190-USD-GGDIV 
empId4 241942-37190-USD-CHYOF 
empId5 241942-37190-USD-EQPL 
empId6 241942-37190-USD-INT 
empId7 242066-15343-USD-CYJOF 
empId8 242066-15343-USD-CYJOF 
empId9 242066-15343-USD-CYJOF 
empId10 241942-37190-USD-GGDIV
