用于读取csv字符串中第n个元素的Python代码

Question

I am new to python and i have a variable containing a csv string and i want to be able to read specific elements of that string. all the searches to day on this topic refer to multi row csv files. I am simply seeking the correct code to read the value from a variable containing the single csv string not a file

Answer 1

The following code:

delimiter=','
position=2
row='foo,bar,baz,googoo'
print(row.split(delimiter)[position])

Will output (as index 0 is 'foo'):

baz

Answer 2

I did not quite understand what specific elements you are interested in

If you are looking for elements based on the position

   csv_row="test1,test2,test3,test4,test5,test6"
   print(csv_row.split(",")[<position>]

If you want to find if an element exists in the CSV and get the position of it

   csv_row="test1,test2,test3,test4,test5,test6"
   csv_list=csv_row.split(",")
   if 'test1' in csv_list:
      print(csv_list.index('test1'))
