CSVHelper and FileHelper is not an option
I have a .csv export that I need to check for consistency structured like the below
Reference,Date,EntryID
ABC123,08/09/2015,123
ABD234,08/09/2015,124
XYZ987,07/09/2015,125
QWE456,08/09/2016,126
I can use ReadLine
or RealAllLines
and .Split
which give me entire rows/columns BUT I have need to select each row and then go through each attribute (separated by ',') for format checking
I am running into problems here. I can not single out each value in a row for this check. It is probably either something simple onto
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
string csvFile = @"proof.csv";
string[] lines = File.ReadAllLines(csvFile);
var values = lines.Skip(1).Select(l => new { FirstRow = l.Split('\n').First(), Values = l.Split('\n').Select(v => int.Parse(v)) });
foreach (var value in values)
{
Console.WriteLine(string.Format("{0}", value.FirstRow));
}
}
}
Or I am going down the wrong path, my searches relate to pulling specific rows or columns (as opposed to checking the individual values associated)
The sample of the data above has a highlighted example: The date is next year and I would like to be able to proof that value (just an example as it could be in either column where errors appear)
