How can I read and manipulate CSV file data in C++? [duplicate]

Question

Pretty self-explanatory, I tried google and got a lot of the dreaded expertsexchange, I searched here as well to no avail. An online tutorial or example would be best. Thanks guys.

Answer 1

More information would be useful.

But the simplest form:

#include <iostream> #include <sstream> #include <fstream> #include <string>  int main() {     std::ifstream  data("plop.csv");      std::string line;     while(std::getline(data,line))     {         std::stringstream  lineStream(line);         std::string        cell;         while(std::getline(lineStream,cell,','))         {             // You have a cell!!!!         }     }  }
