CSV FILE
en
a CSV is a simple file format used to store tabular data, such as
a spreadsheet or database.
co Files in the CSV format can be imported to and exported from
programs that store data in tables, such as Microsoft Excel or
OpenOffice Calc.
a | CSV stands for "comma-separated values“
« A comma-separated values file is a delimited text file that uses
a comma to separate values.
a Each line of the file is a data record. Each record consists of
one or more fields, separated by commas. The use of the
comma as a field separator is the source of the name for this
file formatCSV tile handling in Python

First line :- is to import csv module, this is necessary to perform operations on csv file
Second line :- is to open file to read using “with” block, this block will ensure opened
file will be closed automatically after this block even in case of runtime error also.Example : Reading from CSV File

Third line: to create reader object, to perform read operation on csv file, the first
parameter is the name of csv file, and second parameter is delimiter ie. on what
basis value of different field to read, by default it is comma(,) so this is optional if
not given it will be by default comma, however if any other character is used in file
then we must specify this. myreader will become csv reader object to read csv file.Example : Reading from CSV File

Fourth line : this is formatted string to specify width of each column, so that output
appears properly aligned in their width, here %10s means 10 space for EMPNO,
and so on. This is helpful in printing output in formatted way.
Sixth line :- this line is used to read each row from file one by one and store in row
ie. all the comma separated values will be stored in row in different index
variable.Example : keaaing trom CoV File

for row in myreader:
print ("$10s"$row[0],"%20s"$row[1],"$10s"$row[2])
Seventh Line :- this line is simply printing all the values in row variable by
specifying index i.e. index 0 will be for (according to first row in file) 1, 1 for ‘Amit’,
2 for 6000. here also we used same width as for heading so that both heading and
data are aligned properlyExample : Reading from CSV File
open('myfile.csv') as csvfile:
myreader = csv. reader (csvfile, delimiter=',')
print ("$10s"$"EMPNO","$20s"$"EMP NAME", "$i0s”
