使用Lumenworks CSV Parser提取整行/整行

Question

How do I read the whole row while using LumenWorks CVS parser? So far am only able to read entry by entry but not the whole row. ie if a row is a,b,c,d,e,f , am able to pluck out each individual alphabet. However, I want to be able to read the whole row

Currently I have:

my_csv = New CsvReader(New StreamReader(file_path), False, ",", resetPoint)
field_count = my_csv.FieldCount
While my_csv.ReadNextRecord()
    'process the data here
    'This code will process each individual alphabet in one row

The above reads each individual alphabet. What I want is to have something like

row = my_csv.row

Is this option available or something similar?

When you have basic VB programming skills like me, this is what you come up with to solve the problem

Dim my_string As String = ""
        For x As Integer = 0 To my_csv.FieldCount - 1
            my_string += my_csv(x).ToString.Trim + ","
        Next
        my_string = Mid(my_string, 1, Len(my_string) - 1)
        Return my_string

By all means use the code in the marked answer. Its super elegant!

Answer 1

I haven't found anything available, but this should work:

VB:

Dim rowFields = Enumerable.Range(0, my_csv.FieldCount).
   Select(Function(field) my_csv(CInt(my_csv.CurrentRecordIndex), field))
Dim line As String = String.Join(my_csv.Delimiter.ToString(), rowFields)

C#:

var rowFields = Enumerable.Range(0, my_csv.FieldCount)
    .Select(field => my_csv[(int)my_csv.CurrentRecordIndex, field]);
string line = string.Join(my_csv.Delimiter.ToString(), rowFields);

Answer 2

I found a method using the CopyCurrentRecordTo(array) method, which seems to be marginally faster (a few seconds) the wider (more columns) a file is:

C#:

string[] currentRow = new string[csv.FieldCount];
while (csv.ReadNextRecord())
{
  csv.CopyCurrentRecordTo(currentRow);
  var line = string.Join(csv.Delimiter.ToString(), currentRow);
}

VB (this is from Telerik converter, beware):

Dim currentRow As String() = New String(csv.FieldCount - 1) {}
While csv.ReadNextRecord()
    csv.CopyCurrentRecordTo(currentRow)
    Dim line = String.Join(csv.Delimiter.ToString(), currentRow)
End While
