title: data.GetCSV
linkTitle: getCSV
description: Returns an array of arrays from a local or remote CSV file, or an error if the file does not exist.
categories: [functions]
keywords: []

docs:
parent: functions
function:
aliases: [getCSV]
returnType: '[]string'
signatures: [data.GetCSV SEPARATOR PATHPART...]
relatedFunctions:

- data.GetJSON
toc: true

Given the following directory structure:
```text
my-project/
└── other-files/
└── pets.csv
```
Access the data with either of the following:
```go-html-template
{{ $data := getCSV "," "other-files/pets.csv" }}
{{ $data := getCSV "," "other-files/" "pets.csv" }}
```
Access remote data with either of the following:
```go-html-template
{{ $data := getCSV "," "https://example.org/pets.csv" }}
{{ $data := getCSV "," "https://example.org/" "pets.csv" }}
```
The resulting data structure is an array of arrays:
```json
[
["name","type","breed","age"],
["Spot","dog","Collie","3"],
["Felix","cat","Malicious","7"]
]
```
## Global resource alternative
Consider using `resources.Get` with [`transform.Unmarshal`] when accessing a global resource.
```text
my-project/
└── assets/
└── data/
└── pets.csv
```
```go-html-template
{{ $data := "" }}
{{ $p := "data/pets.csv" }}
{{ with resources.Get $p }}
{{ $opts := dict "delimiter" "," }}
{{ $data = . | transform.Unmarshal $opts }}
{{ else }}
{{ errorf "Unable to get resource %q" $p }}
{{ end }}
```
## Page resource alternative
Consider using `.Resources.Get` with [`transform.Unmarshal`] when accessing a page resource.
```text
my-project/
└── content/
└── posts/
└── my-pets/
├── index.md
└── pets.csv
```
```go-html-template
{{ $data := "" }}
{{ $p := "pets.csv" }}
{{ with .Resources.Get $p }}
{{ $opts := dict "delimiter" "," }}
{{ $data = . | transform.Unmarshal $opts }}
{{ else }}
{{ errorf "Unable to get resource %q" $p }}
{{ end }}
```
## Remote resource alternative
Consider using `resources.GetRemote` with [`transform.Unmarshal`] for improved error handling when accessing a remote resource.
```go-html-template
{{ $data := "" }}
{{ $u := "https://example.org/pets.csv" }}
{{ with resources.GetRemote $u }}
{{ with .Err }}
{{ errorf "%s" . }}
{{ else }}
{{ $opts := dict "delimiter" "," }}
{{ $data = . | transform.Unmarshal $opts }}
{{ end }}
{{ else }}
{{ errorf "Unable to get remote resource %q" $u }}
{{ end }}
```
