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

func chilkatTest() {
    var success: Bool = 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

    let csv = CkoCsv()!

    // Indicate that the 1st row
    // should be treated as column names:
    csv.hasColumnNames = true

    success = csv.setColumnName(index: 0, columnName: "year")
    success = csv.setColumnName(index: 1, columnName: "color")
    success = csv.setColumnName(index: 2, columnName: "country")
    success = csv.setColumnName(index: 3, columnName: "food")

    success = csv.setCell(row: 0, col: 0, content: "2001")
    success = csv.setCell(row: 0, col: 1, content: "red")
    success = csv.setCell(row: 0, col: 2, content: "France")
    success = csv.setCell(row: 0, col: 3, content: "cheese")

    success = csv.setCell(row: 1, col: 0, content: "2005")
    success = csv.setCell(row: 1, col: 1, content: "blue")
    success = csv.setCell(row: 1, col: 2, content: "United States")
    success = csv.setCell(row: 1, col: 3, content: "hamburger")

    // Write the CSV to a string and display:
    var csvDoc: String?
    csvDoc = csv.saveToString()
    print("\(csvDoc!)")

    // Save the CSV to a file:
    success = csv.saveFile(path: "out.csv")
    if success != true {
        print("\(csv.lastErrorText!)")
    }
