The CSV module will read a row at a time, but nothing gets printed till
you print it. So starting with Dan's code,
row[0] is column one of a given row, while row[1] is the next column,
and so on.
import csv
def main():
with open('test.csv', 'r') as file_:
for row in csv.reader(file_, delimiter="|"):
if row[0] == "special":
print row[1:] #print columns starting at the second
