Reading from Comma Delimited Fields

Hi Guys

I am brand new to C++ programing. I have a file with comma delimited fields.
How do I write a program to read say field # 23 and print it.

I did some reading in the forum but could not get a good feel of it.


Thanks in advance.

You could count 23 commas and read the text directly after that. Or you can try to find a library that has been written and use it. One time I found a good CSV library for a java project I worked on. If you got a hold of that you could port it to c/c++ pretty easily.
