How to load data from a csv file#

We can load a file containing comma seperated values with the load_tabular app, providing it with the seperator, sep=",".

In the above example, data is a cogent3.util.Table object, if we write it to disk in csv format, we can re-use it for this example too.

Tip

If you are executing this code on your machine, replace path_to_csv_file with the path containing your csv file!

from cogent3 import get_app

tsv_data.write(path_to_csv_file, sep=",")

load_csv_app = get_app("load_tabular", sep=",")
csv_data = load_csv_app(path_to_csv_file)
