I don't think that DarkGDK has builtin functions for it because it's already handled well by C++ natively. Why can't you just use fstream for it?

better than CSV (comma separated Value) are XML's ,the easiest way to implement XML on your project is TinyXML.
Cheers.
If you need CSV, you can make your own parsing rutines with GDK functions or you can use strtok() and getline() from string.h, it will help you a lot

And you can open a CSV in EXCEL and then force it to save it as an XML for you! OPenOffice does the same thing!

...or... just figure out how to parse it yourself. If you do ... make/find some basic functions (See STDLIB) but you'll want things like :

trim
ltrim
rtrim
mid$
right$
left$
(or substr)
ucase
lcase
pcase (propercase/titlecase..not that important for game stuff)

Also, I recommend you find/make a simple tokenizer - better still if its smart enough to know when its in quotes or not.

Good Luck!
