Fast CSV Parser (C#)

Description

A single-file C# library to quickly parse/export a CSV file's contents. It conforms to RFC 4180 but also allows \n as line endings, not only \r\n.

Usage

Simply copy the Csv.cs file to your project and use it. You need to import the DL.FastCsvParser namespace.

Reading a CSV file:

string csvContents = System.IO.File.ReadAllText("somefile.csv");
Csv csv = Csv.Parse(csvContents);

The Csv class is just a List<List<string>> with a custom ToString method for exporting/printing a valid CSV. You can easily create a Csv object as you would a list.

Writing a CSV file:

var csv = new Csv {
	new List<string> { "A", "B", "C" },
	new List<string> { "D", "E", "F" },
	new List<string> { "G", "H", "I" },
};

System.IO.File.WriteAllText("somefile.csv", csv.ToString());
