public class ReadingCSV: MonoBehaviour { public TextAsset csvFile; public Text contentArea; private char lineSeparater = '\n'; private List<string> wordContainer; //Read data from CSV file // you can alter this to read files that have multiple fields per // line using a nested loop and a field deliminator private void readData() { string[] records = csv.text.Split(lineSeparater); foreach(string record in records) { contentArea.text += record + "\t"; wordContainer.Add(record); } } }
