Read Csv using LINQ

I am having a csv file like this

A, 22, 23, 12
B, 32, 4, 33
C, 34, 3 ,33

I want to print the sum and average of each row and skip the first column. How to do in LINQ using Lambda


var stuff = from l in File.ReadAllLines(filename)
            let x = l.Split(new [] {',', ' '}, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)
                     .Skip(1)
                     .Select(s => int.Parse(s))
            select new
            {
                Sum = x.Sum(),
                Average = x.Average()
            };

If you're reading big files and memory use is a concern, then the following will work better using .NET 4:

var stuff = from l in File.ReadLines(filename)
            let x = l.Split(new [] {',', ' '}, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)
                     .Skip(1)
                     .Select(s => int.Parse(s))
            select new
            {
                Sum = x.Sum(),
                Average = x.Average()
            };

In both cases, the stuff variable contains an enumerable which won't actually be executed until you start reading from it (e.g. inside a foreach loop).


        string csvFile = @"myfile.csv";
        string[] lines = File.ReadAllLines(csvFile);

        var values = lines.Select(l => new { FirstColumn = l.Split(',').First(), Values = l.Split(',').Skip(1).Select(v => int.Parse(v)) });
        foreach (var value in values)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Column '{0}', Sum: {1}, Average {2}", value.FirstColumn, value.Values.Sum(), value.Values.Average()));
        }
