CSV input -- Formatted output

[davemullen]

Hi,

I am trying to physically print letters, envelopes, labels and invoices from an ebay csv file. I can print the whole file to my screen but I can't get to the fields individually to format the printed material I listed above. I have tried using lines and csv.reader. Here are some of the fields I have to work with:
SALES RECORD...USER ID...BUYER FULLNAME...BUYER PHONE NUMBER...BUYER EMAIL...BUYER ADDRESS 1....etc..

I have tried many ways, sometimes I got some data to print. After I get selected fields to the screen then I want to print invoices.
Here's the latest failure:

import csv
infile = csv.reader(open("fileexchange_response_123456789.csv", "rb"))
for 'sales record', 'user id', 'buyer fullname', 'buyer phone number' in reader:
print 'sales record', 'user id', 'buyer fullname', 'buyer phone number'
infile.close()

Any comment would be appreciated.
Thanks, Dave

Made some progess but I still need HELP

I got this to dump out the header record and all the detail records nicely.
I like the Reader because it cleans up the numeric fields.
I still need to test a field or fields and then print fields that I select.
What can I add to accomplish this?
I will keep reading and testing. Thanks, Dave

import csv
rdr= csv.reader( open("fileexchange_response_12458229.csv", "rb" ) )
print 'FILE BEGINS ************************************************'
for row in rdr:
print 'ROW BEGINS'
# I would like to test a field or fields here
# and print multiple fields here
print row
print 'ROW ENDS'
print 'FILE ENDS ***************************************************'
