#import <CkoCsv.h>

// The CSV in this example contains this:   test;"123;abc";xyz

CkoCsv *csv = [[CkoCsv alloc] init];

// EnableQuotes is YES by default, but we'll explicitly set to YES here:
csv.EnableQuotes = YES;
BOOL success = [csv LoadFile: @"qa_data/csv/enableQuotes.csv"];

// Show row 0, column 0
NSLog(@"%@",[csv GetCell: [NSNumber numberWithInt: 0] col: [NSNumber numberWithInt: 0]]);
// Show row 0, column 1
NSLog(@"%@",[csv GetCell: [NSNumber numberWithInt: 0] col: [NSNumber numberWithInt: 1]]);
// Show row 0, column 2
NSLog(@"%@",[csv GetCell: [NSNumber numberWithInt: 0] col: [NSNumber numberWithInt: 2]]);

// Output is: 
//  test
//  123;abc
//  xyz

// -------------------------------------------
// Turn off EnableQuotes and see what happens:

CkoCsv *csv2 = [[CkoCsv alloc] init];
csv2.EnableQuotes = NO;

success = [csv2 LoadFile: @"qa_data/csv/enableQuotes.csv"];

NSLog(@"%@",[csv2 GetCell: [NSNumber numberWithInt: 0] col: [NSNumber numberWithInt: 0]]);
NSLog(@"%@",[csv2 GetCell: [NSNumber numberWithInt: 0] col: [NSNumber numberWithInt: 1]]);
NSLog(@"%@",[csv2 GetCell: [NSNumber numberWithInt: 0] col: [NSNumber numberWithInt: 2]]);
NSLog(@"%@",[csv2 GetCell: [NSNumber numberWithInt: 0] col: [NSNumber numberWithInt: 3]]);

// Output is:

//  test
//  "123
//  abc"
//  xyz
