Golang : How to write CSV data to file
This tutorial is a continuation from previous tutorial on reading CSV file. The code below will demonstrate how easy it is to write CSV data into a file.
package main
import (
"encoding/csv"
"fmt"
"os"
)
func main() {
csvfile, err := os.Create("output.csv")
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("Error:", err)
return
}
defer csvfile.Close()
records := [][]string{{"item1", "value1"}, {"item2", "value2"}, {"item3", "value3"}}
writer := csv.NewWriter(csvfile)
for _, record := range records {
err := writer.Write(record)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("Error:", err)
return
}
}
writer.Flush()
}
Content from output.csv file
item1,value1
item2,value2
item3,value3
The code above write a single line of CSV data for each loop. To write all CSV data at once, please see WriteAll at
