Given a simple text file of departments, capitals, longitude and latitude
separated by commas

Ahuachapán,Ahuachapán,-89.8450,13.9190
Cabañas,Sensuntepeque,-88.6300,13.8800
Cuscatlán,Cojutepeque,-88.9333,13.7167

I would like to know to how to read in the file and then access arbitary
rows in the file, so that I can print a line such as:

The capital of Cabañas is Sensuntepeque

while preserving the non-English characters

now, for example, I get

Cabañas

Thanks.
