Working with CSV

Post by Linkjuice57 »

Hi.

I would like to learn how to work with CSV files. You know, how to read data from them and manipulate this. And maybe the other way around also, how to save something to CSV.

I think this would make an interesting tutorial, what do you think?

I agree :D

Any idea on something I could use to demonstrate ?

I guess the obvious one is exporting a database to a CSV file.

Thanks for the fast reply!

Personally I'm more interested in reading a CSV file and working with that data, but I can imagine that the majority would rather like to see exporting database stuff yes :).

As for an example, http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/ or http://ahrefs.com/ maybe.
