Bare minimal CSV stream based on C++ file streams where the stream operator can be overloaded for your custom type.
This is a example on how to write to CSV.
#include "minicsv.h"
struct Product
{
Product() : name(""), qty(0), price(0.0f) {}
Product(std::string name_, int qty_, float price_)
: name(name_), qty(qty_), price(price_) {}
std::string name;
int qty;
float price;
};
int main()
{
csv::ofstream os("products.txt", std::ios_base::out);
os.set_delimiter('\t');
if(os.is_open())
{
Product product("Shampoo", 200, 15.0f);
os << product.name << product.qty << product.price << NEWLINE;
Product product2("Soap", 300, 6.0f);
os << product2.name << product2.qty << product2.price << NEWLINE;
}
os.flush();
return 0;
}
This is a example on how to read from the same CSV.
#include "minicsv.h"
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
csv::ifstream is("products.txt", std::ios_base::in);
is.set_delimiter('\t');
if(is.is_open())
{
Product temp;
while(is.read_line())
{
is >> temp.name >> temp.qty >> temp.price;
// display the read items
std::cout << temp.name << "," << temp.qty << "," << temp.price << std::endl;
}
}
return 0;
}
The console output is shown below.
Shampoo,200,15
Soap,300,6
