How do I deal with commas when writing Objects to CSV in Swift?

Question

There seem to be other answers the this on stack overflow but nothing that is specific to swift.

I am generating a CSV from an Site Object containing 3 properties

Answer 1

The CSV specification suggests to wrap all fields containing special characters in double quotes.

Answer 2

I managed to get this working using the modification of adding the double quotes to each field. In Swift, this requires you to escape the quotation mark which looks like its not going to run when you look at Xcode's syntax highlighting, but it works fine.

func convertToCSV(sites: [SiteDetails]) -> String {
    var SiteAsCSV = ""
    SiteAsCSV.appendContentsOf("siteName,siteType,siteUrl\n")

    for site in sites { 
        SiteAsCSV.appendContentsOf("\"\(site.SiteName)\",\"\(site.Sitetype)\",\"\(site.SiteUrl)\"\n")
    }
}
