Reading and processing a file line by line

Files containing data in the comma separated values (csv) format are structured so that one line contains data about one object, so we need a way to read and process the file line by line. As an example, we use the data file winequality-red.csv, that contains 1,599 sample measurements, 12 data columns, such as pH and alcohol, per sample, separated by a semicolon (;), of which you can see the top 20 in the following screenshot:

How to do it...

Examine the code of the command-line project processing_lines using the following methods:

  1. Using the readAsLines method as shown in the following code:

    import 'dart:io';
// for step 3:
import 'dart:async';
import 'dart:convert';

main() {
  File data= new File("../winequality-red.csv");
  data.readAsLines().then(processLines)
  .catchError((e) => handleError(e));
}

processLines(List<String> lines) {
  // process lines:
  for (var line in lines) {
  print(line);
  }
}

handleError(e) {
  print("An error...
