input file looks like:

dog,white,male cat,purple,female rat,gray,male

and i want to go through and do things with that data, line by line.

File.open("animals.csv")
  while file has next line
    currentline = array with each cell being an entry in the array
    if currentline[0] == dog
      put "dogs are cool"
    end
    put "your animal is a " + currentline[0]
  end

You get the idea, right? I want to manipulate data line with ifs and whatnot and print it all out at the end.

Thanks
