Best way to read an CSV string ? (Performance)

Hi,

I am currently using tokenat() with array position to get each values of a CSV string.. however i feel like its really slow. Is there a better way to read such string so it could be super fast ?

Thanks!

It all depends on how often you need to access the CSV string. If it's a once shot here and there. Then just stick with Tokenat. If you need to itterate through the string in say a loop; and it's descent size string. Then you better off probably just converting the csv into an array.

WEll i am trying to parse the CSV data of a .tmx file (Tiled) it is basically one full row of a very big lenght (2,073,600 x2 entries for a dual layer level of 1920x1080) it actually take 6 seconds and i was trying to reduce that load time.

Nevermind, i developped an algorithm to increase the performance of the read of my CSV data to about 90%! It now take 1 sec to load instead of 5-6. I avoided the use of tokenat for this operation, it was the bottleneck. I used a While with a virtual cursor and find to go through the data which was way more faster!

Thanks for the help through!

HI. I'm trying to sort through my CSV data too. What is this "While with a virtual cursor" magic you speak of, and how can I use it? Can you elaborate please.
