Load a .csv file into a string?

My goal is to upload a .csv file into the local file folder of my game. I want to then access the .csv file and store the values into strings which I will then manipulate with tokenat(ect).

I've tried searching the forums and came across this plugin

scirra.com/forum/plugin-csv-csv2array_topic46096_page1.html

and he says that I can use AJAX to get .csv string from external file.

So I've tried using the AJAX object but haven't had any luck. I was going to make a .capx but I have no idea how to use the AJAX properly to accomplish this, even after reviewing the AJAX object page in the manual.

scirra.com/manual/107/ajax

So if anyone can point me to a real basic example showing how to get from a locally stored .csv file to storing the values in a string, that would be great. Thanks!

Capx

Thanks so much! I knew it was something real simple like that!

i am also trying to utilize this plugin for my project.

Is there a way to save an excel file as csv, then import to project file, and then point to it from the event sheet? i have it imported, but not sure how i can point to it so that it can be loaded into my array object.

secondly, if a want to store a 'number' in my csv table, can i use it as a number and not just a string? for use with a variable?

I was hoping to get a copy of rexrainbow's capx file for this... the dropbox file appears to be gone...

It would probably answer a lot of questions I have with AJAX!

Thanks!

You may find everything you need in the CSV plugin documentation rexrainbow put here :)
