Csv

class astropy.io.ascii.Csv

Bases: astropy.io.ascii.Basic

Read a CSV (comma-separated-values) file.

Example:

num,ra,dec,radius,mag
1,32.23222,10.1211,0.8,18.1
2,38.12321,-88.1321,2.2,17.0

Plain csv (comma separated value) files typically contain as many entries as there are columns on each line. In contrast, common spreadsheet editors stop writing if all remaining cells on a line are empty, which can lead to lines where the rightmost entries are missing. This Reader can deal with such files. Masked values (indicated by an empty ‘’ field value when reading) are written out in the same way with an empty (‘’) field. This is different from the typical default for astropy.io.ascii in which missing values are indicated by --.

Example:

num,ra,dec,radius,mag
1,32.23222,10.1211
2,38.12321,-88.1321,2.2,17.0
