Csv-File-Ppt-Intro

CSV (comma-separated values) is a flat file format used to store tabular data, allowing easy import and export with programs like Excel. It consists of records separated by commas, and Python's csv module facilitates reading and writing these files. CSV files are human-readable, smaller in size, and can use different delimiters, although the default is a comma.

 C S V is a simple flat file format used to store tabular data, such as

a spreadsheet or database.
 Files in the C S V format can be imported to and exported from
programs that store data in tables, such as Microsoft Excel or
OpenOffice Calc.
 C S V stands for "comma-separated values“.
 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 format

 Python provides a module to deal with these variations
called the csv module
 This module allows you to read spreadsheet info into
our program
 We load the module in the usual way using import:

 A CSV file stores tabular data (numbers and text) in plain text.
* Each line of the file is a data record.
* Each record consists of one or more fields, separated by
commas.
* CSV files allows to choose a different delimiter character such as

‘\t’, ‘:’ , ‘;’ , ‘|’. but the default delimiter is ‘,’comma.


* To read and write in CSV files we need to import csv module.
*csv module provides two specific objects -reader and writer to
read and write into the file.
* These objects read and write delimited sequence as records
in a csv 8
Opening csv file:

A csv file is opened n the same way as any text file is


opened.

Syntax:
fh=open(“stu.csv”,”w”)- to open the file in write mode
fh=open(“stu.csv”,”r”)- to open the file in write mode

9
* Import csv module
* Open csv file in a file handle
*Create a reader object by using csv.reader() function
Example: stureader=csv.reader(fh)
*using for loop fetch the data from the reader object
in which data is stored in the form of iterable

10
import csv
f=open("d:/marks.csv",'r')
csvr = csv.reader(f )
for row in csvr:
print(row)
f.close()

11
 Import csv module
* Open csv file in a file handle( just as text file)
Example : fh=open(“stu.csv”,”w”)- to open the file in
write mode
*Create a writer object by using csv.writer()
function. Ex. stuwriter=csv.writer(fh)
* Obtain user data and form a Python sequence
 (list or tuple) out of it.
Ex. sturec=(11, ‘Neelam’,79.0)
*Write the Python sequence onto the writer
object using csv.writerow() or csv.writerows()
Ex. stuwriter.writerow(sturec)

Write to a CSV file

import csv
with open('protagonist.csv', 'w', newline='') as file:
writer = csv.writer(file)
writer.writerow(["SN", "Movie", "Protagonist"])
writer.writerow([1, "Lord of the Rings", "Frodo Baggins"])
writer.writerow([2, "Harry Potter", "Harry Potter"])

13
Writing multiple rows with writerows()

import csv
csv_rowlist = [["SN", "Movie", "Protagonist"],
[1, "Lord of the Rings", "Frodo Baggins"],
[2, "Harry Potter", "Harry Potter"]]
with open('protagonist.csv', 'w') as file:
writer = csv.writer(file)
writer.writerows(csv_rowlist)
