Demonstrates how to create a new CSV file with some simple content. Go

    success := false

    // This sample code creates a new CSV file (sample.csv)
    // that contains this content:
    // 
    // year,color,country,food
    // 2001,red,France,cheese
    // 2005,blue,"United States",hamburger

    csv := chilkat.NewCsv()

    // Indicate that the 1st row
    // should be treated as column names:
    csv.SetHasColumnNames(true)

    success = csv.SetColumnName(0,"year")
    success = csv.SetColumnName(1,"color")
    success = csv.SetColumnName(2,"country")
    success = csv.SetColumnName(3,"food")

    success = csv.SetCell(0,0,"2001")
    success = csv.SetCell(0,1,"red")
    success = csv.SetCell(0,2,"France")
    success = csv.SetCell(0,3,"cheese")

    success = csv.SetCell(1,0,"2005")
    success = csv.SetCell(1,1,"blue")
    success = csv.SetCell(1,2,"United States")
    success = csv.SetCell(1,3,"hamburger")

    // Write the CSV to a string and display:
    var csvDoc *string = new(string)
    csvDoc = csv.SaveToString()
    fmt.Println(*csvDoc)

    // Save the CSV to a file:
    success = csv.SaveFile("out.csv")
    if success != true {
        fmt.Println(csv.LastErrorText())
    }


    csv.DisposeCsv()
