I'm working on a project that requires me to take values from a CSV file. I've to do further processing with these values and it'd be great if I can have these values in a 2D array. The number of rows and columns of the CSV files changes at regular intervals.
I'm unable to take these values into a 2D array in VB.NET/C#. Can I please have some help on that?
Here the code that I used:
Imports System.IO
Public Class Form1
Private Sub ReadCSVFileToArray()
Dim strfilename As String
Dim num_rows As Long
Dim num_cols As Long
Dim x As Integer
Dim y As Integer
Dim strarray(1, 1) As String
' Load the file.
strfilename = "test.csv"
'Check if file exist
If File.Exists(strfilename) Then
Dim tmpstream As StreamReader = File.OpenText(strfilename)
Dim strlines() As String
Dim strline() As String
strlines = tmpstream.ReadToEnd().Split(Environment.NewLine)
' Redimension the array.
num_rows = UBound(strlines)
strline = strlines(0).Split(",")
num_cols = UBound(strline)
ReDim strarray(num_rows, num_cols)
' Copy the data into the array.
For x = 0 To num_rows
strline = strlines(x).Split(",")
For y = 0 To num_cols
strarray(x, y) = strline(y)
Next
Next
' Display the data in textbox
For x = 0 To num_rows
For y = 0 To num_cols
TextBox1.Text = TextBox1.Text & strarray(x, y) & ","
Next
TextBox1.Text = TextBox1.Text & Environment.NewLine
Next
End If
End Sub
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
ReadCSVFileToArray()
End Sub
End Class
