Read Csv using LINQ

Question

I am having a csv file like this

A, 22, 23, 12
B, 32, 4, 33
C, 34, 3 ,33

I want to print the sum and average of each row and skip the first

Answer 1

Try to use this old but still good library: FileHelpers Library

It's very easy to use:

char delimiter = ',';
var dt = FileHelpers.CsvEngine.CsvToDataTable(fileName,delimiter);

then just do:

var rowStats = dt.AsEnumerable()
                 .Select(x => x.ItemArray.Select(y => Convert.ToInt32(y)))
                 .Select(x => new { avg = x.Average(), sum = x.Sum() });

foreach (var rowStat in rowStats)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Sum: {0}, Avg: {1}", rowStat.sum, rowStat.avg);
}
