I find the easiest way to do this is to use the TMS AdvStringGrid. This comes on the 
companion CD with Delphi.

Hi,

I want to read in a spreadsheet (could be just a csv), check certain columns
versus what's on a database, and add an additional column or 2 to the
spreadsheet if I find a discrepancy (in the spreadsheet vs the database) and
then write back out the updated csv.

I haven't been developing in Delphi long and this is the first time I've
wanted to read a text file. Looking at help, I'm thinking TstringStream
would probably be a start. Unless someone can suggest something more elegant
or better fitted to the task?

Thanks for any ideas.

Dave
