Parse csv file using suitescript 2.1

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To parse a CSV file using SuiteScript 2.1, you can use the

N/file

and

N/util

modules. Here's a basic example of how you can do it:

javascript
var fileObj = file.load({
    id: 'path/to/your/file.csv'
});

var content = fileObj.getContents();
var allTextLines = content.split(/\r\n|\n/);
var headers = allTextLines[0].split(',');

var lines = [];

for (var i=1; i<allTextLines.length; i++) {
    var data = allTextLines[i].split(',');
    if (data.length == headers.length) {
        var tarr = [];
        for (var j=0; j<headers.length; j++) {
            tarr.push(data[j]);
        }
        lines.push(tarr);
    }
}

In this example,

file.load

is used to load the CSV file. The

getContents

method is then used to get the contents of the file as a string. This string is split into an array of lines, and then each line is split into an array of fields. Please note that this is a simple example and does not handle cases where fields in the CSV file can contain commas. For more complex CSV parsing, you might want to use a library like Papa Parse or Sheet.js, as suggested in the conversations. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
