How to read a CSV file using iOS

Question

I have to develop an iOS application that can read the data from a CSV file hosted on a domain. Is there any standard APIs that can help me to do this? I don\'t need to down

Answer 1

You will have to download the file, that is the only way to get it from the remote host to your device. A CSV File is a text file with data separated by a comma(','). Download the file from the the remote host, read the file line by line, split the line string that was read from the file;

For example:

1,2,3,4,1,2,3 ...Line 1

Split using ',' as a delimiter and add the split values into an array, the result will be:

array_line_one = {1,2,3,4,1,2,3};

Answer 2

I recommend Dave DeLong's CHCSVParser library for parsing.
