but i want to select each and every cell values separately and to process over it. but i cant able to retrieve all the cell values. i can able to retrieve data1 alone by checking ,.

can anyone help me over tat...

thanks in advance..

So, show us what you've written so far, and perhaps someone can offer some suggestions to help fix it. For parsing CSV data, you are going to need to make heavy use of string processing functions. strtok() is one that is probably useful, although it can be tripped up by commas embedded in quoted fields. It is almost impossible to suggest a general solution, unless someone knows of a canned library or source package for parsing such files, and it seems likely that such a package exists. I assume that you have a good reason for choosing a C implementation, rather than something like Perl, which makes such tasks almost trivial.

I don't see how paulsm4's code works for CSV files, either. It would seem to work fine for whitespace separated values. His point that C is the wrong tool for the job should be well taken however. My solution would probably involve something like Perl and the Text::CSV::Simple module. Since you haven't shown any actual data, nor have you given any indication how you wish to process the data, it is impossible to provide anything like a working example.
