在c#中是否有默认/官方/推荐的方法来解析CSV文件?我不想滚动自己的解析器。

另外,我也见过人们使用ODBC/OLE DB通过文本驱动程序读取CSV的实例,很多人因为它的“缺点”而不鼓励这样做。这些缺点是什么?

理想情况下,我正在寻找一种方法,通过它我可以通过列名读取CSV,使用第一个记录作为报头/字段名。给出的一些答案是正确的,但基本上是将文件反序列化为类。

这里有一个我经常使用的helper类,以防有人回到这个线程(我想分享它)。

我这样做是为了简单地将它移植到可以使用的项目中:

public class CSVHelper : List<string[]>
{
  protected string csv = string.Empty;
  protected string separator = ",";

  public CSVHelper(string csv, string separator = "\",\"")
  {
    this.csv = csv;
    this.separator = separator;

    foreach (string line in Regex.Split(csv, System.Environment.NewLine).ToList().Where(s => !string.IsNullOrEmpty(s)))
    {
      string[] values = Regex.Split(line, separator);

      for (int i = 0; i < values.Length; i++)
      {
        //Trim values
        values[i] = values[i].Trim('\"');
      }

      this.Add(values);
    }
  }
}

像这样使用它:

public List<Person> GetPeople(string csvContent)
{
  List<Person> people = new List<Person>();
  CSVHelper csv = new CSVHelper(csvContent);
  foreach(string[] line in csv)
  {
    Person person = new Person();
    person.Name = line[0];
    person.TelephoneNo = line[1];
    people.Add(person);
  }
  return people;
}

其他回答

在商业应用中,我使用codeproject.com上的开源项目,CSVReader。

它工作良好,具有良好的性能。我提供的链接上有一些基准测试。

一个简单的例子,从项目页面复制:

using (CsvReader csv = new CsvReader(new StreamReader("data.csv"), true))
{
    int fieldCount = csv.FieldCount;
    string[] headers = csv.GetFieldHeaders();

    while (csv.ReadNextRecord())
    {
        for (int i = 0; i < fieldCount; i++)
            Console.Write(string.Format("{0} = {1};", headers[i], csv[i]));

        Console.WriteLine();
    }
}

如你所见,这很容易处理。

我知道有点晚了,但刚刚找到了Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO库,其中有TextFieldParser类来处理csv文件。

如果你只需要读取csv文件,那么我推荐这个库:一个快速csv阅读器 如果你还需要生成csv文件,那么使用FileHelpers

它们都是免费和开源的。

CsvHelper(我维护的一个库)将把CSV文件读入自定义对象。

using (var reader = new StreamReader("path\\to\\file.csv"))
using (var csv = new CsvReader(reader, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture))
{
    var records = csv.GetRecords<Foo>();
}

有时候你并不拥有你想读的对象。在这种情况下,您可以使用流畅映射,因为您不能将属性放在类上。

public sealed class MyCustomObjectMap : CsvClassMap<MyCustomObject>
{
    public MyCustomObjectMap()
    {
        Map( m => m.Property1 ).Name( "Column Name" );
        Map( m => m.Property2 ).Index( 4 );
        Map( m => m.Property3 ).Ignore();
        Map( m => m.Property4 ).TypeConverter<MySpecialTypeConverter>();
    }
}

如果任何人想要一个代码片段,他们可以直接输入自己的代码,而不必绑定库或下载包。以下是我写的一个版本:

    public static string FormatCSV(List<string> parts)
    {
        string result = "";

        foreach (string s in parts)
        {
            if (result.Length > 0)
            {
                result += ",";

                if (s.Length == 0)
                    continue;
            }

            if (s.Length > 0)
            {
                result += "\"" + s.Replace("\"", "\"\"") + "\"";
            }
            else
            {
                // cannot output double quotes since its considered an escape for a quote
                result += ",";
            }
        }

        return result;
    }

    enum CSVMode
    {
        CLOSED = 0,
        OPENED_RAW = 1,
        OPENED_QUOTE = 2
    }

    public static List<string> ParseCSV(string input)
    {
        List<string> results;

        CSVMode mode;

        char[] letters;

        string content;


        mode = CSVMode.CLOSED;

        content = "";
        results = new List<string>();
        letters = input.ToCharArray();

        for (int i = 0; i < letters.Length; i++)
        {
            char letter = letters[i];
            char nextLetter = '\0';

            if (i < letters.Length - 1)
                nextLetter = letters[i + 1];

            // If its a quote character
            if (letter == '"')
            {
                // If that next letter is a quote
                if (nextLetter == '"' && mode == CSVMode.OPENED_QUOTE)
                {
                    // Then this quote is escaped and should be added to the content

                    content += letter;

                    // Skip the escape character
                    i++;
                    continue;
                }
                else
                {
                    // otherwise its not an escaped quote and is an opening or closing one
                    // Character is skipped

                    if (mode == CSVMode.OPENED_QUOTE)

                        if (nextLetter != '\0')
                        {
