read csv file as a string in python

Question

I accidentally corrupted a csv file (delimiters no longer working - thanks Microsoft Excel!). I want to salvage some data by reading it as a string and searching for things - I can see the text by opening the file on notepad, but I can't figure out how to load that string from the filepath in python.

I imagine it would be a variation of

csv_string = open(filepath, 'something').read()

but I can't get it to work, or find a solution on SO / google.

Answer 1

它应该与以下代码一起使用，但这不是处理csv的最佳方法。

csv_string = ''.join(open(filepath, 'r').readlines())

Answer 2

Something like:

with open(filepath, 'r') as corrupted_file:
    for line in corrupted_file:
        print(line) # Or whatever

Answer 3

You can read csv from this .

import csv

reader = csv.reader(open("samples/sample.csv"))    
for title, year, director in reader:
   print year, title
