How to do it...

1. Open the console and create the folder chapter02/recipe10.
2. Navigate to the directory.
3. Create a file named data.csv with the following content:

        "Name","Surname","Age"
        # this is comment in data
        "John","Mnemonic",20
        Maria,Tone,21

1. Create the data.go file with the following content:

        package main

        import (
          "encoding/csv"
          "fmt"
          "os"
        )

        func main() {

          file, err := os.Open("data.csv")
          if err != nil {
            panic(err)
          }
          defer file.Close()

          reader := csv.NewReader(file)
          reader.FieldsPerRecord = 3
          reader.Comment = '#'

          for {
            record, e := reader.Read()
            if e != nil {
              fmt.Println(e)
              break
            }
            fmt.Println(record)
          }
        }

1. Run the code by executing go run data.go.
2. See the output in the Terminal:

         if err != nil {
           panic(err)
         }
         defer file.Close()

         reader := csv.NewReader(file)
         reader.Comma = ';'

         for {
           record, e := reader.Read()
           if e != nil {
             fmt.Println(e)
             break
           }
           fmt.Println(record)
         }
       }
