This is a nice CSV parser with support for streams: https://github.com/davedelong/CHCSVParser

If you are parsing a file that comes from the web, then you could also use https://github.com/acerbetti/AFCSVRequestOperation which is using the AFNetworking library for downloading the file.

CSV is basically a comma separated list of values. You can use NSString methods componentsSeparatedByString: or componentsSeparatedByCharactersInSet: for that.

Suppose you have a comma separated string, calling [myStringCSV componentsSeparatedByString:@","] will give you an NSArray with the values.
