CSV to HTML translation

Consider a simplified CSV format where all rows are separated by a newline and all columns are separated by commas.

Task
CSV to HTML translation
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.

No commas are allowed as field data, but the data may contain other characters and character sequences that would normally be   escaped   when converted to HTML


Task

Create a function that takes a string representation of the CSV data and returns a text string of an HTML table representing the CSV data.

Use the following data as the CSV text to convert, and show your output.

Character,Speech
The multitude,The messiah! Show us the messiah!
Brians mother,<angry>Now you listen here! He's not the messiah; he's a very naughty boy! Now go away!</angry>
The multitude,Who are you?
Brians mother,I'm his mother; that's who!
The multitude,Behold his mother! Behold his mother!


Extra credit

Optionally allow special formatting for the first row of the table as if it is the tables header row (via <thead> preferably; CSS if you must).

The most practical solution for Befunge was to read the CSV from stdin, so this implementation works best with command line interpreters that can accept redirected input. That said, it is still possible test with many of the GUI and online interpretors just by entering the input manually.

Note that right angle brackets are deliberately not escaped, since that is not strictly necessary for the markup to be valid.

Extra credit solution using pattern matching

This is not the most concise solution, but it is relatively efficient. To collect the lines we use a pattern that matches a line starting from position [!p. Each time a line is matched, p is updated, the two found elements are collected and the pattern is forced to fail, so the pattern matcher finds the next line. The found rows are collected in reverse order, because prepending to a list is faster than appending. When all lines are read, the collected lines are reversed, interspersed with newline characters. Finally the predefined function toML is used to create HTML.

( ( CSVtoHTML = p q Character Speech swor rows row . 0:?p & :?swor:?rows & ( @( !arg  :  ? ( [!p ?Character "," ?Speech \n [?q ? & !q:?p & (tr.,(th.,!Character) (th.,!Speech)) !swor  : ?swor & ~ ) ) | whl ' ( !swor:%?row %?swor & !row \n !rows:?rows ) & toML $ (table.,(thead.,!swor) \n (tbody.,!rows)) ) ) & CSVtoHTML $ "Character,Speech The multitude,The messiah! Show us the messiah! Brians mother,<angry>Now you listen here! He's not the messiah; he's a very naughty boy! Now go away!</angry> The multitude,Who are you? Brians mother,I'm his mother; that's who! The multitude,Behold his mother! Behold his mother! " )

Output:

<table><thead><tr><th>Character</th><th>Speech</th></tr></thead> <tbody><tr><td>The multitude</td><td>The messiah! Show us the messiah!</td></tr> <tr><td>Brians mother</td><td>&lt;angry&gt;Now you listen here! He's not the messiah; he's a very naughty boy!

Simple solution NOT using pattern matching

Newer versions of Bracmat have the built in function vap that splits an input string in single characters or that splits it everywhere where a given separator character occurs. Each single character or slab of characters is passed to a function. The values returned from this function become the elements in a list that is returned from the vap function. For example, vap$(upp.Википедию) "vaporizes" the word Википедию into characters and produces the list of uppercased characters В И К И П Е Д И Ю. Instead of the name of a function we can choose to just give vap the definition of an anonymous function, like so: vap$((=.!arg:~и|).Википедию). This returns a list of the characters in the word Википедию, except for the и character: В к п е д ю.

In the code below, we use vap with a third argument, a splitting separator character. The outer call to vap splits a text into rows. An embedded call to vap splits each row into cell elements. This code is very efficient.

( ( Csv2Html = . toML $ ( table . , vap $ ( ( = .tr.,vap$((=.td.,!arg).!arg.",") ) . !arg . \n ) ) ) & Csv2Html $ "Character,Speech The multitude,The messiah! Show us the messiah! Brians mother,<angry>Now you listen here! He's not the messiah; he's a very naughty boy! Now go away!</angry> The multitude,Who are you? Brians mother,I'm his mother; that's who! The multitude,Behold his mother! Behold his mother! " )

The plan here is to scan each line for commas to find the splitters between texts, then write the texts out with suitable td and /td swaddling. Text presented as a quoted string (that could thereby contain a comma that is not a delimiter) is explicitly not recognised and apostrophes are apostrophes. Similarly, no attempt is made to recognise characters within the texts that might cause trouble, either because they will not elicit the same glyph when rendered from .html, or because they trigger interpretative action rather than be passed through as-is. Thus the lurking "angry" markings in the texts are not given special conversion. Further, leading and trailing spaces in each text are not trimmed off as the .html rendition process ignores them anyway. To remove them would seem to be easy enough via the special intrinsic function TRIM (available in F90) were it not that it trims off only trailing spaces. Otherwise one could mess with arrays such as IST and LST to finger the first and last character position of each text and deal patiently with the complications attendant on entirely blank or null strings when scanning the input line to determine the values.

The source is only just F90. It uses an array with a specified lower bound (of zero) - with older Fortran you could play with EQUIVALENCE or else diligently remember the offset. More difficult is the arrangement for ascertaining the length of a record as it is being read, with protection against overflowing the scratchpad should it be longer than is allowed for. This requires the Q format code, and was a common extension to F77. As usual, in the absence of help from the filesystem, the length of the longest record could only be determined through reading the entire file, and for this example it is not worth the annoyance. In the absence of the Q format feature, the input record would be read into ALINE with possibly many trailing spaces added to fill out the scratchpad; more time would be lost in scanning backwards to find the last non-blank. Should a record be longer than the scratchpad then its tail end would be lost and no remark made. Some systems (such as Snobol) are able to read a record and prepare a text variable of the correct size for that record, whatever its length (up to some integer limit such as 65535, or even more) but Fortran is not one such.

The key statement is the compound WRITE statement and its associated FORMAT, and for non-furrytranners these proceedings may be obscure. A WRITE statement accepts a list of items to be written in the usual manner, and an item is usually the name of a variable or an expression (such as 2*X + 1), but it can also be an implied DO-list. In this case the item is enclosed in brackets, and within them starts with an item list followed by a comma and a DO-expression, as in (a,b,c, I = 1,N) where a, b and c constitute a three-element list of items - any of which could themselves be an implied DO-list if nested lists were desired. Thus, by one means or another, the WRITE statement produces a sequence of values (of various types) to be sent forth. In association with the list of entries in the nominated FORMAT statement: processing proceeds in parallel through both lists in the manner of coroutines, not sequentially. It is possible with a READ statement that a value just read adjusts a part of a FORMAT statement not yet encountered during the processing of the READ statement. For instance FORMAT 13 could have <NCOLS> instead of 666 as its repeat count, but this is an extension to F77 and avoided here to stick with older abilities except where inconvenient.

Thus, the entire line for a table row can be written in one go, starting with the tr then many repetitions of (WOT,text, WOT), with each starting and ending WOT appropriately encased by < and > and / characters supplied by the FORMAT. This repeated pattern is unsuitable for starting the line (so the tr is provided by the FORMAT, with indentation) because then it would be out of step, but happily, after the last text is rolled, the required /tr can be sent to use the format codes that would normally be used for the start of the next text. Humm. If there were to be 666 texts to roll, this will exhaust the FORMAT statement and it will write the current line out and start a fresh one, resuming at the rightmost ( in the FORMAT specification. This rule does not always prove convenient so I'd prefer the vertical bar usage of musical notation to mark the resumption location. Interpreters of html do not care about layout but humans do, so, just in case, the repeat count should be 667 (or <NCOLS + 1>), or, if <NCOLS> were used, there could follow a ,A in the FORMAT, or, the "/tr" could be removed from the WRITE and appended to end the FORMAT just as at its start, but enough.

The check for a comma is not ALINE(I:I).EQ."," because in other work this usage has been found to evoke astoundingly bad code, notably that both appearances of "I" are checked as being within bounds, and, the length is calculated by subtracting the "first" (I) from the "last" (also I) at run time! At least by the COMPAQ F90/95 compiler. By contrast, the ICHAR usage, which can only be for a single character, lacks this madness and far superior speed results. Not important in this example, but it explains why this puzzling usage appeared in a prog. at the Culham Science Centre in source from an IBM mainframe.

Solution #1: Nested GStrings

Brute force solution using nested GStrings. It solves both the basic and extra credit tasks.

def formatCell = { cell ->  "<td>${cell.replaceAll('&','&amp;').replaceAll('<','&lt;')}</td>" } def formatRow = { row ->  """<tr>${row.split(',').collect { cell -> formatCell(cell) }.join('')}</tr> """ } def formatTable = { csv, header=false ->  def rows = csv.split('\n').collect { row -> formatRow(row) }  header \  ? """ <table> <thead> ${rows[0]}</thead> <tbody> ${rows[1..-1].join('')}</tbody> </table> """ \  : """ <table> ${rows.join('')}</table> """ } def formatPage = { title, csv, header=false -> """<html> <head> <title>${title}</title> <style type="text/css"> td {background-color:#ddddff; } thead td {background-color:#ddffdd; text-align:center; } </style> </head> <body>${formatTable(csv, header)}</body> </html>""" } 

Test:

def csv = '''Character,Speech The multitude,The messiah! Show us the messiah! Brians mother,<angry>Now you listen here! He's not the messiah; he's a very naughty boy!

Solution #2: MarkupBuilder

A much cleaner solution using the Groovy XML MarkupBuilder class. It solves both the basic and extra credit tasks.

import groovy.xml.MarkupBuilder def formatRow = { doc, row ->  doc.tr { row.each { cell -> td { mkp.yield(cell) } } } } def formatPage = { titleString, csv, header=false ->  def writer = new StringWriter()  def doc = new MarkupBuilder(writer)  def rows = csv.split('\n').collect { row -> row.split(',') }  doc.html {  head {  title (titleString)  style (type:"text/css") {   mkp.yield('''  td {background-color:#ddddff; }  thead td {background-color:#ddffdd; text-align:center; }  ''')  }  }  body {  table {  header && thead { formatRow(doc, rows[0]) }  header && tbody { rows[1..-1].each { formatRow(doc, it) } }  header || rows.each { formatRow(doc, it) }  }  }  }  writer.toString() } 

Test:
The interface is the same for both solutions, so we just reuse the same test as before.

Basic output:
<html> <head> <title>Basic</title> <style type='text/css'>  td {background-color:#ddddff; }  thead td {background-color:#ddffdd; text-align:center; }  </style> </head> <body> <table> <tr> <td>Character</td> <td>Speech</td> </tr> <tr> <td>The multitude</td> <td>The messiah! Show us the messiah!</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Brians mother</td> <td>&lt;angry&gt;Now you listen here! He's not the messiah; he's a very naughty boy! Now go away!&lt;/angry&gt;</td> </tr> <tr> <td>The multitude</td> <td>Who are you?</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Brians mother</td> <td>I'm his mother; that's who!</td> </tr> <tr> <td>The multitude</td> <td>Behold his mother! Behold his mother!</td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> 

The HTML for this solution looks superficially different than that from the GString solution, but the appearance as rendered in Google Chrome is identical.

Extra Credit output:

This solution for the extra credit works in both Icon and Unicon. The simple CSV is read from standard input and written to standard output. The presence/abscend of "-heading" in the argument list sets the variable thead to the procedure writes or a 1 (for more on this see Introduction to Icon/Unicon - Conjunction yielding different results).

procedure main(arglist) pchar := &letters ++ &digits ++ '!?;. ' # printable chars write("<TABLE>") firstHead := (!arglist == "-heading") tHead := write while row := trim(read()) do { if \firstHead then write(" <THEAD>") else tHead(" <TBODY>") writes(" <TR><TD>") while *row > 0 do row ?:= ( (=",",writes("</TD><TD>")) | writes( tab(many(pchar)) | ("&#" || ord(move(1))) ), tab(0)) write("</TD></TR>") if (\firstHead) := &null then write(" </THEAD>\n <TBODY>") tHead := 1 } write(" </TBODY>") write("</TABLE>") end 
Output:

Functional solution by A.K.Bateman:

function csvToHtml(input) {  if (!input || typeof input !== 'string') {  throw new Error('Invalid input!');  }  function _createTableCell(cellContents, index) {  if (!cellContents || typeof cellContents !== 'string') {  throw new Error('Invalid data!');  }  const tableCell = document.createElement(  (index === 0) ? 'th' : 'td'  );  tableCell.textContent = cellContents.trim();  return tableCell;  }  const rows = input.split('\n');  const table = document.createElement('table');  rows.forEach((row, index) => {  const tableRow = document.createElement('tr');  const tableCells = row.split(',');  tableCells.forEach((cell) => {  try {  tableRow.appendChild(  _createTableCell(cell, index),  );  } catch (error) {  console.error(error);  }  });  table.appendChild(tableRow);  });  return table; } 

Example use:

const inputData = `Character,Speech The multitude,The messiah! Show us the messiah! Brians mother,<angry>Now you listen here! He's not the messiah; he's a very naughty boy! Now go away!</angry> The multitude,Who are you? Brians mother,I'm his mother; that's who! The multitude,Behold his mother! Behold his mother!`; try {  document.body.append(  csvToHtml(inputData),  ); } catch (error) {  console.error(error) } 

We will assume the input is in a file named csv2html.csv, and that the jq program as given below is in a file named csv2html.jqn. To simplify things, we will invoke the jq processor twice -- the first invocation simply converts the text input into a sequence of JSON strings:

jq -R . csv2html.csv | jq -r -s -f csv2html.jq
def headerrow2html: [" <thead> <tr>"] + (split(",") | map(" <th>\(@html)</th>")) + [ " </tr> </thead>" ] ; def row2html: [" <tr>"] + (split(",") | map(" <td>\(@html)</td>")) + [ " </tr>" ] ; def csv2html: def rows: reduce .[] as $row ([]; . + ($row | row2html)); ["<table>"] + (.[0] | headerrow2html) + (.[1:] | rows) + [ "</table>"] ; csv2html | .[]

Output

<table> <thead> <tr> <th>Character</th> <th>Speech </th> </tr> </thead> <tr> <td>The multitude</td> <td>The messiah! Show us the messiah! </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Brians mother</td> <td>&lt;angry&gt;Now you listen here! He&apos;s not the messiah; he&apos;s a very naughty boy! Now go away!&lt;/angry&gt; </td> </tr> <tr> <td>The multitude</td> <td>Who are you? </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Brians mother</td> <td>I&apos;m his mother; that&apos;s who! </td> </tr> <tr> <td>The multitude</td> <td>Behold his mother!

Many specialized MATLAB file IO functions are painfully slow, and with large files it is often better to use a lower-level functions such as fread. Here we use fileread, which does a little bit of error handling and calls fread, specifying the input data as text. From this text string, we can easily convert any special html characters, split it into a cell array, and print it out specifying format.

inputString = fileread(csvFileName);  % using multiple regular expressions to clear up special chars htmlFriendly = regexprep(regexprep(regexprep(regexprep(inputString,...  '&','&amp;'),...  '"','&quot;'),...  '<','&lt;'),...  '>','&gt;');  % split string into cell array tableValues = regexp(regexp(htmlFriendly,'(\r\n|\r|\n)','split')',',','split');  %%% print in html format %%%  % <Extra Credit> first line gets treated as header fprintf(1,['<table>\n\t<tr>' sprintf('\n\t\t<th>%s</th>',tableValues{1,:}{:})])  % print remaining lines of csv as html table (rows 2:end in cell array of csv values) cellfun(@(x)fprintf(1,['\n\t<tr>' sprintf('\n\t\t<td>%s</td>',x{:}) '\n\t</tr>']),tableValues(2:end)) fprintf(1,'\n</table>') 

As a single line:

fprintf(1,['<table>\n\t<tr>\n\t\t<th>',regexprep(regexprep(regexprep(regexprep(regexprep(regexprep(regexprep(regexprep(fileread(cvsFileName),'&','&amp;'),'"','&quot;'),'<','&lt;'),'>','&gt;'),'(?<=(^[^\n\r]*)),','</th>\n\t\t<th>'),'(?<!>)(\r\n|\r|\n)','</td>\n\t<tr>\n\t</tr>\n\t\t<td>'),'</td>\n','</th>\n','once'),',','</td>\n\t\t<td>'),'</td>\n\t</tr>\n</table>\n'])

The csv code below handles commas ',' that are embedded in quoted text. It also counts the number of records found.

The code below can be run with the pep interpreter eg:

 pep -f csv.tohtml.pss test.csv 

Or the script can be translated to another language (compiled if necessary) and run, for example:

 pep -f tr/translate.py.pss csv.tohtml.pss > csv.tohtml.py chmoa a+x csv.tohtml.py cat test.csv | ./csv.tohtml.py # output as below 

or translate into Go, compile and run

 pep -f tr/translate.go.pss csv.tohtml.pss > csv.tohtml.go go build csv.tohtml.go cat test.csv | ./csv.tohtml # output as below 

The are currently (2025) several languages to which Nom scripts can be translated, including Java, Javascript, Go, Python, Ruby, Tcl and C (but the C code uses byte characters so will not handle unicode characters correctly)

Simple solution

OCaml possesses a CSV module but we do not use it hereafter because the CSV data does not contain comas.

open Printf let csv_data = "\ Character,Speech The multitude,The messiah! Show us the messiah! Brians mother,<angry>Now you listen here! He's not the messiah; \ he's a very naughty boy! Now go away!</angry> The multitude,Who are you? Brians mother,I'm his mother; that's who! The multitude,Behold his mother! Behold his mother!" (* General HTML escape *) let escape = let html_escapes = Str.regexp "\\([^A-Za-z0-9 ;!?'/]\\)" in let esc s = sprintf "&#%04d;" (Char.code s.[Str.group_beginning 1]) in Str.global_substitute html_escapes esc let nl = Str.regexp "\n\r?" let coma = Str.regexp "," let list_of_csv csv = List.map (fun l -> Str.split coma l) (Str.split nl csv) let print_html_table segments = printf "<table>\n"; List.iter (fun line -> printf "<tr>"; List.iter (fun c -> printf "<td>%s</td>" (escape c)) line; printf "</tr>\n"; ) segments; printf "</table>\n"; ;; let () = print_html_table (list_of_csv csv_data)
Sample html output:

Only the "extra credit" version is provided here. It is also XHTML 1.0, complete, and validates (as noted in the comment to the 'process-end' rule). The validation could be done by OmniMark too, but that's going well beyond the scope of the task. Only the three XML character references, which appear in the input, are included - &gt;, &lt;, and &apos; (so, not &amp; and &quot;).

Robust solution

This solution uses the CSV parser and HTML-capable XML serializer included in the Python standard library to produce the same fancy table as in the "extra credit" version.

While not strictly necessary for the very constrained input given in Rosetta Code, using readily available high-level APIs is idiomatic for Python, makes bugs easier to catch, and this also demonstrates the kind of "safe to use with more general inputs" code that is good to get in the habit of reaching for when dealing with real-world inputs and outputs.

(eg. Suppose an earlier stage in the pipeline is using a proper CSV-generating library but is running in a locale that uses commas for decimal separators and has a bug that causes it to unexpectedly start feeding pretty-printed floating-point in. Using a proper CSV reader minimizes the potential harm and helps the program to raise errors in the most elucidating place.)

Since the version of ElementTree in the standard library does not support pretty-printing, the output it produces is minified. Unlike the "extra credit" version, this doesn't put each <TR> element in its own <TBODY>.

from csv import DictReader from xml.etree import ElementTree as ET def csv2html_robust(txt, header=True, attr=None): # Use DictReader because, despite what the docs say, reader() doesn't # return an object with .fieldnames # (DictReader expects an iterable that returns lines, so split on \n) reader = DictReader(txt.split('\n')) table = ET.Element("TABLE", **attr.get('TABLE', {})) thead_tr = ET.SubElement( ET.SubElement(table, "THEAD", **attr.get('THEAD', {})), "TR") tbody = ET.SubElement(table, "TBODY", **attr.get('TBODY', {})) if header: for name in reader.fieldnames: ET.SubElement(thead_tr, "TD").text = name for row in reader: tr_elem = ET.SubElement(tbody, "TR", **attr.get('TR', {})) # Use reader.fieldnames to query `row` in the correct order. # (`row` isn't an OrderedDict prior to Python 3.6) for field in reader.fieldnames: td_elem = ET.SubElement(tr_elem, "TD", **attr.get('TD', {})) td_elem.text = row[field] return ET.tostring(table, method='html') htmltxt = csv2html_robust(csvtxt, True, { 'TABLE': {'border': "1", 'summary': "csv2html extra program output"}, 'THEAD': {'bgcolor': "yellow"}, 'TBODY': {'bgcolor': "orange"} }) print(htmltxt.decode('utf8'))

Sample HTML output

<TABLE border="1" summary="csv2html extra program output"><THEAD bgcolor="yellow"><TR><TD>Character</TD><TD>Speech</TD></TR></THEAD><TBODY bgcolor="orange"><TR><TD>The multitude</TD><TD>The messiah! Show us the messiah!</TD></TR><TR><TD>Brians mother</TD><TD>&lt;angry&gt;Now you listen here! He's not the messiah; he's a very naughty boy!

R

Using base R functions only, this is a very basic implementation and produces a simple HTML table

File <- "~/test.csv" Opened <- readLines(con = File) Size <- length(Opened) HTML <- "~/test.html" Table <- list() for(i in 1:Size) { #i=1 Split <- unlist(strsplit(Opened[i],split = ",")) Table[i] <- paste0("<td>",Split,"</td>",collapse = "") Table[i] <- paste0("<tr>",Table[i],"</tr>") } Table[1] <- paste0("<table>",Table[1]) Table[length(Table)] <- paste0(Table[length(Table)],"</table>") writeLines(as.character(Table), HTML)

Sample HTML output:

<table><tr><td>Character</td><td>Speech</td></tr> <tr><td>The multitude</td><td>The messiah! Show us the messiah!</td></tr> <tr><td>Brians mother</td><td><angry>Now you listen here! He's not the messiah; he's a very naughty boy! Now go away!</angry></td></tr> <tr><td>The multitude</td><td>Who are you?</td></tr> <tr><td>Brians mother</td><td>I'm his mother; that's who!</td></tr> <tr><td>The multitude</td><td>Behold his mother! Behold his mother!</td></tr></table>

Uses X-exprs:

#lang racket (define e.g.-CSV (string-join '("Character,Speech" "The multitude,The messiah! Show us the messiah!" "Brians mother,<angry>Now you listen here! He's not the messiah; he's a very naughty boy! Now go away!</angry>" "The multitude,Who are you?" "Brians mother,I'm his mother; that's who!" "The multitude,Behold his mother! Behold his mother!") "\n")) (define (CSV-lines->HTML-table csv) (define csv-rows (regexp-split "\n" csv)) (define csv-row-cells (map (lambda (row) (regexp-split "," row)) csv-rows)) (define (cell-data->HTML-data data) `(td () ,data)) (define (row-data->HTML-row CSV-row) `(tr () ,@(map cell-data->HTML-data CSV-row) "\n")) `(table (thead ,(row-data->HTML-row (car csv-row-cells))) (tbody ,@(map row-data->HTML-row (cdr csv-row-cells))))) (require xml) (display (xexpr->string (CSV-lines->HTML-table e.g.-CSV)))

Sample HTML output:

<table><thead><tr><td>Character</td><td>Speech</td> </tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>The multitude</td><td>The messiah! Show us the messiah!</td> </tr><tr><td>Brians mother</td><td>&lt;angry&gt;Now you listen here! He's not the messiah; he's a very naughty boy!

The extra credit version has one extra line compared to the non-extra credit version. To output a header, simply add "header" to the command line:

 ruby csv2html.rb header 

I/O is done through standard input/output.

require 'cgi' puts '<table summary="csv2html program output">' def row2html str, wrap = "td" "<tr>" + str.split(",").map { |cell| "<#{wrap}>#{CGI.escapeHTML cell}</#{wrap}>" }.join + "</tr>" end puts row2html gets.chomp, "th" if ARGV.delete "header" while str = gets puts row2html str.chomp end puts "</table>"

Scala has built-in support for XML, so you can freely mix XML literals into your Scala source code. This is nice, because instead of using strings to represent XML, you create XML literals that the compiler can understand and verify. This approach lets you easily generate dynamic XML by interweaving Scala code and XML in the same expressions.

This solution converts the table in-place in current edit buffer. If a block is highlighted, only the block is converted. If no block highlighted, the entire file is converted.

if (BB < 0) { // block not set BB(0) // convert entire file BE(File_Size) } // Convert special characters into entities Replace_Block("&","&amp;", BB, BE, BEGIN+ALL+NOERR) Replace_Block("<","&lt;", BB, BE, BEGIN+ALL+NOERR) Replace_Block(">","&gt;", BB, BE, BEGIN+ALL+NOERR) // Convert CSV into HTML table Goto_Pos(BB) IT('<table>') IN #80 = Cur_Pos Goto_Pos(BE) IT("</table>") #81 = Cur_Line IN Goto_Pos(#80) while (Cur_Line < #81) { IT(" <tr><td>") Replace_Block(",","</td><td>",Cur_Pos,EOL_Pos,ALL+NOERR) EOL IT("</td></tr>") Line(1) } BB(Clear)

Works with: .NET Framework

Uses XML literals and the TextFieldParser class of the VB runtime, which can parse delimited or fixed-width files.

The optional first command-line argument denotes whether to use <thead /> for the first row. The optional second argument specifies the path of the CSV file. If no second argument is given, the program reads from the console until stop characters are encountered.

TextFieldParser is designed to work with files and so makes heavy use of peeking, which results in buggy behavior when signaling end-of-file using the console. The most reliable way seems to be alternately pressing enter and Ctrl+Z after the last character of the last line of data.

Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO Module Program Sub Main(args As String()) Dim parser As TextFieldParser Try If args.Length > 1 Then parser = My.Computer.FileSystem.OpenTextFieldParser(args(1), ",") Else parser = New TextFieldParser(Console.In) With {.Delimiters = {","}} End If Dim getLines = Iterator Function() As IEnumerable(Of String()) Do Until parser.EndOfData Yield parser.ReadFields() Loop End Function Dim result = CSVTOHTML(getLines(), If(args.Length > 0, Boolean.Parse(args(0)), False)) Console.WriteLine(result) Finally If parser IsNot Nothing Then parser.Dispose() End Try End Sub Function CSVTOHTML(lines As IEnumerable(Of IEnumerable(Of String)), useTHead As Boolean) As XElement Dim getRow = Function(row As IEnumerable(Of String)) From field In row Select <td><%= field %></td> CSVTOHTML = <table> <%= From l In lines.Select( Function(line, i) If useTHead AndAlso i = 0 Then Return <thead><%= getRow(line) %></thead> Else Return <tr><%= getRow(line) %></tr> End If End Function) %> </table> End Function End Module

Setup

  1. Download to a local copy of the csv-to-xml.xslt library style-sheet listed in the linked blog entry. Alternatively a copy of the style-sheet on this wiki can be found here: csv-to-xml.xslt
  2. Pass as the URI of the input csv as a parameter (named url-of-csv) to your XSLT 2.0 processor
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:xcsvt="http://www.seanbdurkin.id.au/xslt/csv-to-xml.xslt" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xcsv="http://www.seanbdurkin.id.au/xslt/xcsv.xsd" version="2.0" exclude-result-prefixes="xsl xs xcsvt xcsv"> <xsl:import href="csv-to-xml.xslt" /> <xsl:output indent="yes" encoding="UTF-8" method="html" doctype-system="about:legacy-compat" /> <xsl:import-schema schema-location="http://www.seanbdurkin.id.au/xslt/xcsv.xsd" use-when="system-property('xsl:is-schema-aware')='yes'" /> <xsl:param name="url-of-csv" as="xs:string" select="'roseta.csv'" /> <xsl:variable name="phase-1-result"> <xsl:call-template name="xcsvt:main" /> </xsl:variable> <xsl:template match="/"> <html lang="en"> <head><title>CSV to HTML translation - Extra Credit</title></head> <body> <xsl:apply-templates select="$phase-1-result" mode="phase-2" /> </body> </html> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="xcsv:comma-separated-single-line-values" mode="phase-2"> <table> <xsl:apply-templates mode="phase-2" /> </table> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="xcsv:row[1]" mode="phase-2"> <th> <xsl:apply-templates mode="phase-2" /> </th> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="xcsv:row" mode="phase-2"> <tr> <xsl:apply-templates mode="phase-2" /> </tr> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="xcsv:value" mode="phase-2"> <td> <xsl:apply-templates mode="phase-2" /> </td> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="xcsv:notice" mode="phase-2" /> </xsl:stylesheet>

This style-sheet, when applied to the task input, yields...

The pump method writes or appends to a sink, in this case a string (eg "

"). The fpM method is function/partial application and takes a string (ones and zeros) to indicate the positional input parameters. So String.fpM("101","a","c")("B") creates a new string "aBc".
