One of the coolest things you can do through programming is to process data from a CSV file.

Once you know how to do this, you can get data from the internet or from other programs and write a program or application that processes that data for you. For example, in my programming guide, you will need to learn how to do this to read and process data from the transactions file that your credit card company can give you.

Here are some examples of when parsing a CSV comes in handy:

• To automate something in your business
• To read a file and do all the mundane calculations for you
• To give configuration information to your application
• To save and load user data
• To analyze data

This tutorial shows you the functions that you need to open, read, and close a file on your computer. It is one of the most useful things you can get your program to do especially if you’re just learning how to program. It gives you a lot of functionality and will open up many kinds of ideas for applications.

Reading and parsing a CSV file is a fundamental skill EVERY programmer should know how to do. Let’s learn!
