Reading file in Python using csv with examples

In this post, I will use the 'with ~ as' function for convenience.

If you use 'fileopen' function, you have to close the file, but 'with ~ as' function doesn't need to do.

Read file:

if file 'abc.txt' content like this

-----------------------------------------------------

1,2,3,4,5

-----------------------------------------------------

The python code for reading file 'abc.txt' would be as below.

-----------------------------------------------------

import csv

with open('abc.txt', 'r') as readfile:

     csvreader = csv.reader(readfile, delimiter =  ',')

     for row in csvreader:

          for i in range(len(row)):

               print row[i]

-----------------------------------------------------

Finally, output is like this

-----------------------------------------------------

1

2

3

4

5

-----------------------------------------------------

Thanks

Have Fun!
