Python: Reads a CSV file and remove initial spaces, quotes around each entry and the delimiter
Write a Python program that reads a CSV file and remove initial spaces, quotes around each entry and the delimiter.
Sample Solution:
Python Code :
import csv
csv.register_dialect('csv_dialect',
delimiter='|',
skipinitialspace=True,
quoting=csv.QUOTE_ALL)
with open('temp.csv', 'r') as csvfile:
reader = csv.reader(csvfile, dialect='csv_dialect')
for row in reader:
print(row)
temp.csv
"country_id"|"country_name"|"region_id"
"AR"|"Argentina"| 2
"AU"|"Australia"| 3
"BE"|"Belgium"| 1
"BR"|"Brazil"| 2
"CA"|"Canada"| 2
Sample Output:
['country_id', 'country_name', 'region_id'] ['AR', 'Argentina', '2'] ['AU', 'Australia', '3'] ['BE', 'Belgium', '1'] ['BR', 'Brazil', '2'] ['CA', 'Canada', '2']
