#-----------Objective---------------------------------------
#
# 1. Open a file that is comma deiminated called test.csv
# and then print the file to the screen.
# 33.04,123196,12,421020,RVN# 179-Ernest Lonard,12528.7
# 33.04,123196,12,421020,RVN# 196-Hector Gale,2599.7
# 33.04,123196,12,421230,RVN# 249-Richard George,2300
# 33.04,123196,12,420000,Total Sales Journal,-17428.4
#
# 2. Write the file to a file called junk2.txt and be able
# to "cat" or "type" the file after the program terminates.
#
# 3. Read the data in the 5th position of the file and put " "s
# around the data, so that the ending file lools like this:
# 33.04,123196,12,421020,"RVN# 179-Ernest Lonard",12528.7
# 33.04,123196,12,421020,"RVN# 196-Hector Gale",2599.7
# 33.04,123196,12,421230,"RVN# 249-Richard George",2300
# 33.04,123196,12,420000,"Total Sales Journal",-17428.4
#
