TxtCsvHelper

TxtCsvHelper is a library to assist in parsing CSV, or any other form of delimited files. You can fill models, fill dynamics, or simply get a list of fields by line.

Installation

Use the package manager console to install TxtCsvHelper.

Install-Package TxtCsvHelper -Version 1.3.3

Usage

using TxtCsvHelper;

To return an IEnumerable<T>. Dynamic types must be IEnumerable<dynamic> Parser can take a StreamReader, Stream, or a string Delimiter if no stream exists (not for use with deserialize or Read) followed by 2 optional parameters: the delimiter string (will default to a comma). A bool if there is a header line (will default to true). Scroll to end for examples

//if you need to change the LineBreak from default Environment.NewLine - Configuration.NewLine = Some string
using(Parser pars = new Parser(streamvar, delimiter: ',', hasHeader: true))
{
          //if you want certain NumberStyles, CultureInfo, and/or DateTimeStyles - only necessary if you need custom conversion
         //Configuration.CultureInfo = Some Culture Info - will default to CultureInfo.CurrentCulture
         //Configuration.NumberStyles = Some Number Style - will default to NumberStyles.Curreny
        //Configuration.DateStyles = Some DateTime Style - will default to DateTimeStyles.AssumeLocal
	var models = pars.Deserialize<Person>();
}

To read line by line give parser a StreamReader, or a Stream. Set Delimiter to your delimiter if different than a comma. You can get fields in a variety of ways. Scroll to end for examples.

using (StreamReader rs = new StreamReader(postedFile.OpenReadStream()))
using(Parser parser = new Parser(sr, delimiter: ","))
{
	while(parser.Read())
	{
                List<string> substrings = parser.Substrings;
                string s = parser[0];
                string ss = parser.GetField(1);
                string sss = parser.GetField("FirstName);
                int ssss = parser.GetField<int>(3)
                int sssss = parser.GetField<int>("Age")
        }
}

To return an IEnumerable<string> for each line Parser in this case takes 2 optional parameters: the delimiter string (will default to a comma). A bool if there is a header line (will default to true). SplitLine takes a Line of delimited fields. Scroll to end for examples

using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(postedFile.OpenReadStream()))
using(Parser parser = new Parser(false, delimiter: ",", HasHeader: true))
{
	while(sr.Peek()>=0)
	{
                var n = parser.SplitLine(sr.ReadLine());
        }
}

If no header exists, you may declare the index of the field in the model with [SetIndex()] simply put the index starting with 0 inside the parentheses. You must set HasHeader to false to use SetIndex(). If a header exists but the names do not match your model, you may declare the header name with [HeaderName()] simply put the column name in the parentheses

public class Person
{
	[SetIndex(1)]
	[HeaderName(Last)]
        public string LastName { get; set; }
        [SetIndex(0)]
        public string FirstName { get; set; }
        [SetIndex(2)]
        public string MiddleName { get; set; }
        [SetIndex(3)]
        public int Age { get; set; }
}

Examples:

//Delimiter defaults to "," and HasHeader defaults to true. You can use .ReadAsync() with the same syntax
using(StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(postedFile.OpenReadStream()))
using(Parser parser = new Parser(sr))
{
     var models = parser.Deserialize<Person>();
}
//Delimiter defaults to "," and HasHeader defaults to true. You can use .ReadAsync() with the same syntax
//For long lines that do not contain line breaks in fields use .SplitLine() instead - see example at bottom
using(StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(postedFile.OpenReadStream()))
using(Parser parser = new Parser(sr, “\t”))
{
      //If you want to read the Header in and read line by line instead of .Deserialize
     parser.Read();
     //Must call this if you want to reference fields by column name
     parser.CacheHeaderRow();
     while(parser.Read())
     {
           string firstName = parser.GetField("FirstName");
           string lastName = parser.GetField("LastName");
           string middleName = parser.GetField("MiddleName");
           int age = parser.GetField<int>("Age");
      }
}
//Delimiter defaults to "," and HasHeader defaults to true. You can use .ReadAsync() with the same syntax
using(StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(postedFile.OpenReadStream()))
using(Parser parser = new Parser(sr))
{
      //If you want to read line by line. If you want to skip the first (or more) row call parser.Read() before the while loop.
     while(parser.Read())
     {
           string firstName = parser.GetField(0);
           string lastName = parser.GetField(1);
           string middleName = parser.GetField(2);
           int age = parser.GetField<int>(3);
      }
}
//Delimiter defaults to "," and HasHeader defaults to true. You can use .ReadAsync() with the same syntax
using(StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(postedFile.OpenReadStream()))
using(Parser parser = new Parser(sr))
{
      //If you want to read line by line. If you want to skip the first (or more) row call parser.Read() before the while loop.
     while(parser.Read())
     {
           string firstName = parser[0];
           string lastName = parser[1];
           string middleName = parser[2];
           if(int.TryParse(parser[3], out int i))
           {
                  int age = i;
           }
      }
}
//Delimiter defaults to "," and HasHeader defaults to true. You can use .ReadAsync() with the same syntax
using(StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(postedFile.OpenReadStream()))
using(Parser parser = new Parser(sr))
{
      //If you want to read line by line. If you want to skip the first (or more) row call parser.Read() before the while loop.
     while(parser.Read())
     {
          List<string> substrings = parser.Substrings;
          //do something with the substrings
      }
}
//Use this if you want split strings, you can give .SplitLine any string, it does not need to come from a StreamReader
//this is the most efficient method for long lines that do not contain line breaks in fields
//Delimiter defaults to "," and HasHeader defaults to true
using(StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(postedFile.OpenReadStream()))
using(Parser parser = new Parser(“,”)
{
       //if you want to skip the header row/rows call sr.ReadLine() before the loop
       while(sr.Peek()>=0)
       {
              var substrings = parser.SplitLine(sr.ReadLine());
              //do something with the substrings
       }
